I think we agree here. As with suicide, if you own yourself, then you own yourself. that includes the right to not wear a seatbelt, etc. However, insurers should be free to require a higher premium or refuse to cover you in those cases, and society should not be left footing the bill. If you choose to wear no seatbelt, fine -- so long as society does not bear the cost of your decision.

But society DOES bear the cost of your decision anyway, because they lose YOU.
