The welfare of the society, which is comprised of different races, all ages, all countries, and all socioeconomic backgrounds supersedes individual freedom. Freedom is a privilege especially in a society in which you're interconnected with other human beings. You can't just have it at the expense of other people's lives. But on the other hand, if you live on an island by yourself, then by all means, do whatever you want. At least what you do there won't affect other people's lives. But in a society, you have to be responsible not only for yourself but also for other people's lives.
