Quote:So yes, I support voluntary slavery - but how is it any different from employment?

The main difference that with voluntary slavery you waive your rights. So basically in voluntary slavery you accept to have violence used on you. If you own your own life, then you should have the right to sell it.

For example you could be a masochist who enjoys being physically abused. Or you'd like to be killed in a specific fashion. If you own your own life, why shouldn't you have the right to ask someone else to kill you? I'm trying to come up with a cogent argument against this objection, but I can't find a good one.
