> you can compare those two but it's like comparing apples to bananas, with being a fruit the only thing in common.
Sure can, which is also a very valid and useful comparison. I can compare the nutrient content, sugar content, caloric content, glycemic index and use those as reasons to compare the health of the two. All very useful things to know if your trying to make good eating decisions. Just because two things are different in many ways in no way implies that they arent comparable or that comparing them is somehow fruitless (see what I did there :) )
> Our laws regulate our "bodily autonomy", because we live in a society. I could argue that putting me in prison because I chose to kill someone goes against my "bodily autonomy". Yet, here we are: we need rules.
No you cant. If i stab someone then i have violated their bodily autonomy, if they walk into my knife then I have not. Similarly if i intentionally spit in your drink and give you covid, then im in the wrong. If you get covid because you decide to walk near me without appropriate physical protections on, thats on you.
> With this very basic assumption in mind, those two things are not comparable.
At no point did I claim we dont need rules. You are engaging in quite a few logical fallacies here Reductio ad Absurdum and the False Dichotomy Fallacy. In one case you reduce my argument to the aburd to ply bodily autonomy means I can do whatever I want, which was never implied. For the second fallacy you are implying bodily autonomy only exists as absolutes and doesnt recognize that bodily autonomy again doesnt mean "everything goes"
