"The
only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over
any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to
prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral,
is not a sufficient warrant. He cannot rightfully be compelled
to do or forbear because it will be better for him to do so,
because it will make him happier, because, in the opinions of
others, to do so would be wise, or even right. These are good
reasons for remonstrating with him, or reasoning with him, or
persuading him, or entreating him, but not for compelling him,
or visiting him with any evil in case he do otherwise. Over
himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign"
(John Stuart Mill). |
