Is personal autonomy, control over bodily and psychological integrity, and basic human dignity a part of the definition of a security of person?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from 626381 Ontario Ltd. v. Kagan, Shastri, 2013 ONSC 4114 (CanLII):

Charter jurisprudence has also suggested that security of person interests involve an idea of personal autonomy and an individual’s control over their own bodily and psychological integrity. In Rodriguez v. British Columbia (Attorney General), 1993 CanLII 75 (SCC), [1993] 3 S.C.R. 519 at para. 136 Sopinka J. concluded: There is no question … that personal autonomy, at least with respect to the right to make choices concerning one’s own body, control over one’s physical and psychological integrity, and basic human dignity are encompassed within security of person, at least to the extent of freedom from criminal prohibitions which interfere with these.
