What if biohackers injected themselves with mRNA?

People selling their organs isn't them doing what they want with their own bodies and minds. It's them engaging in a mutli party business transaction where one person literally buys part of another person.

Maybe we should make that sort of business transaction illegal, maybe we shouldn't, but it has no bearing on whether or not people should be allowed to do what they want with their own minds and bodies.

People should be allowed to remove their own organs, it's only the selling (the business transaction) that you might (or might not) want to outlaw.

And where do we draw the line? If I cut my hair can I sell it? I literally mutilated myself. Of course, hair is not a vital organ. What about a nose, then? Why not a kidney? (we've got a spare)

Your hair is constantly falling out and being replaced. Your nose and kidneys aren't. That seems like a wholly obvious line to draw.
