You might want to think that through. Every thing a person does to their body affects someone else either physically or emotionally, and most often negatively. Your mindset is a dangerous slippery slope. For example:
on your grounds, there is nothing wrong with someone selling themselves into slavery. So I guess you would repeal anti-slavery laws? I can think of quite a few more alterations to face and body that could traumatize other people, esp children. If we want to live in a civilized world rather than a hell on earth, there have to be limits.

Any politician or corporatist who favors things like open borders, yet also allows for a welfare state, is not – repeat not – a libertarian.

A libertarian believes in individual liberty and individual responsibility: There must be neither stick nor carrot. The so-called libertarians, such as the often-touted Koch brothers, want open borders with welfare.

That exposes such for what they are: self-centered, self-serving billionaires who just want cheap labor for their corporations, and government welfare so that they do not have to pay workers a decent wage.

Elon Musk has built much of his empire on taxpayer subsidies (taxation for which we no longer have genuine representation). Conservative pundits called him a “grifter” circa 2008 – and they were correct.
