When looking at this topic (Personal Autonomy), I reckoned it would be best to first understand what it means in order to come up with an authoritative conclusion as to how far does it extend. Reference.MD described personal autonomy as self-directing freedom and especially moral independence.
As human beings we are exposed to the planet earth’s diversity where every single individual do things according to what they believe is right or what they were taught is right. Everyone controls his own universe, though; other people as well are directly or indirectly affected by the circumstances of your decisions. However, not all of us consider our cognates with our dealings.
I think as a person you are destined to make decisions on your own, although people in our surroundings also partake in this but at the end your shots goes, so it is important to self-direct ourselves to the righteous paths and to let our morals be independent. But our personal autonomy has no limit; it’s only our actions or decisions which limit us.
I guess personal autonomy goes as far as the regulations and/or rules we make for ourselves as human beings and how we behave in societies we found ourselves in. In addition, it also depend to what or how we govern ourselves and to what extent we allow others to take control in our dealings, of which we shouldn’t….. it’s only us who must make calls and nobody else, which is how far I think personal autonomy extends!
