And what of being owned? Like having pets for example. Don't they deserve the dignity of choice?

[ Qui-Gon never approved of pets. While Obi-Wan dismissed them continuously as "pathetic life forms", ownership of even the most open-minded or congenial of animals is still, imposing your will on another. ]

I do not believe dignity extends to ownership. To extend your identity to what you own instead of who you are seems like an identity that can be easily taken from you. To own something also means you must be prepared to lose it.

I do not own anything but my lightsaber. No one can destroy me, my identity and my dignity.
