Who owns the human body?

Uta Müller in the podcast “Körperkult” of the Neue Züricher Zeitung (NZZ)

Our body is unique. We can train it, we can care for it - but who does it actually belong to? In this episode of the podcast “Who owns my body?”, Uta Müller addresses this question. Together with Jenny Rieger from the NZZ, she discusses the relationship between body and mind (or soul) and who could “own” the body. She also discusses the ethical conflicts of surrogate motherhood, the sale of organs or body substances and other manipulations of the human body.
