Whose steak is it?

Pruss further shares two key assumptions:

1. The only way to make item “x” to cease is by destroying “x.”
2. It is not possible for an individual to “literally own a part of another.”

Say you own “carbon atom” – a part of steak, and Pruss devours the atom or bite of steak, so it becomes a part of his body.

• Point 2 makes it possible that you know longer wholly own “x” atom or the steak.
• Point 1 points states destroying “x” removes it from existence, essentially by becoming part of Pruss’ body.
