    If you're free, you can think for yourself and do things with
    your body, so you "own" your body and you "own" things you make with
    your hands.

To say you "own" your body seems to imply you should be able to sell it.

    I think the crucial point should not be about "owning" but really about
    privacy

I agree.

            /publicity.

In English, publicity and privacy are not antonyms.  Publicity is an
activity (actively informing the public about something), whereas
privacy is a state of affairs.  If someone is spying on you, you lose
privacy, but that does not mean you are engaged in publicity.
