    Sorry if I was unclear on this, but my comment was far broader than just this particular case with CNN. Also sorry if I forgot while writing my previous comment, that the US constitution does not always exactly lign up with e.g. the constitution of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. We have (had) similar discussions here during this pandemic and the constitution thing was brought up even by moderates. So I suppose I did not entirely think that through, given this thread is more specifically about the US.

    Edit: where I live (Netherlands), Chapter 1 section 11 states:

    Ieder heeft, behoudens bij of krachtens de wet te stellen beperkingen, recht op onaantastbaarheid van zijn lichaam.

    I do not know whether the US has got anything like that, even though I assumed it and that was perhaps a mistake.
