Interfering with the market is wrong as it doesn"t produce the diesred result. Preferrable to put a warning on an object rather than force people to stay away from it. Ok to impose registration requirements on selling things that may be used in crime. Punished for being drunk, or commiting crime while drunk. Transfer of ownership of one"s labour to another person. We own our own labour, therefore entitled to use it/exclude others from use. Morally prohibited from transferring ownership of your labour to someone else. Handing control of life (euthanasia) is not morally permissible. Possible to acquire legal ownership of someone else"s labour (evil laws)
