> sometimes we have to lock people down and physically prevent them from harming themselves

So where does my statement suggest we should make locking people up for their own good the norm?

I can come up with even more mundane examples of where we physically prevent people from harming themselves. High barriers to stop people getting into the tiger enclosure. If a member of staff saw someone dumb enough to try and climb in, rest assured they'd be physically dragged out for their own safety.

Or do you suggest we allow the general public to wander into the tiger exhibit to pet the animals? Personal freedom and all that.
