Yes, I do believe you should be able to do whatever you decide to your own body so long as others are not endangered in the process.  So, now you're going to say that abortion is murder.  That depends on your definition of when life actually starts (which obviously differs from mine). 

Drugs:  Some do lead to criminal behavior and should be illegal because of the threat to society.  Others should be legal, just like alcohol (which is a drug but socially accepted).

Prostitution:  Yes, it should be legalized.  I really don't think I've ever heard of someone wanting to grow up to be a prostitute.  This means that most (if not all) are doing it for the money -- money they need to feed themselves and their families.  I really don't think people that have to resort to this income should be punished again by a legal system that probably put them there in the first place.

FYI:  I don't need to see the video.  I've already been there once.
