It doesn't matter if someone wants (for some reason) to be a slave, it is still illegal to own another human, and they cannot be owned.-That right simply cannot be waived, agreed
Quote: Abortion is not illegal. It is a legal, important, helpful (sometimes necessary) medical procedure.Agreed
Quote: If someone wants to become a doctor, they need to hold the standards of practice that comes with the profession. If their religion doesn't like it, tough, they took an oath to serve their patient's wellbeing first.-So that right can...and should, be waived. Agreed.......but......
Seeing as how we can't waive the first one (regardless of whether or not we should or would want to) - I'm faced with a problem regarding the broad application of what is or is not a right and how it may or might or could or should be waived. :gasps for air:
IOW, I can't hold my anti-slavery position as a sacred cow. I have to allow that perhaps a person can - and perhaps a person should be willing or able to sell themselves into slavery - I cannot force them to excercise that right, nor can I deny it to them.
Better?
