The "public" doesn't own anything. You can demonstrate that by trying to sell your share of the thing you supposedly own.

Depending on your mindset, that could be the case.

What's your stance ? That's a very valid question regarding relationships between individuals, with the law and authorities in one group.

Depends on where and who you ask. There are definitely people who will take your body parts in sale. (Think iPhone craze + China and remember back to people selling kidneys.)

Just because you own something doesn't mean its a liquid asset..
