Your Body: Who should decide what goes in and comes out? [View all]

While it seems like a no-brainer, I won't make any assumptions about this without a completely unscientific poll! Here, I mean anything, in or out. I am also looking for who you think should say first what goes in or out, since there may be situations, such as surgery, where you may defer to an expert's opinion.

Well, who do you think should decide first what gets put into or taken out of your body?
