But a Supreme Court judge will think so one day, sooner than you expect.
They couldn't "consent" in ancient Greece or Rome, either......but they weren't given the option. There are lots of things that infants can't "consent" to these days -- but it's done to them anyway. So, if we're in the soup for an inch: then, logically, we might as well go the whole distance. Either way: children are a mere commodity -- to exist or not to exist at our own whim and convenience. So why not use them for other purposes, too: in the same fashion that one would use any other similar home-grown agricultural resource? Think about it.....it's no worse than what Jonathan Swift suggested to the elites of his day in A Modest Proposal. I don't understand why anyone could possibly object, or could feel that such a suggestion is in any way unreasonable.
On some of the other topics that have been touched upon since I last posted to this thread......I'm nowhere near as politically correct as some of you painfully and self-consciously bend over backwards in straining yourselves to be.....in order to firmly establish the credibility of your "I'm hip and with the program" bona fides. But we don't want to get into too much of a flame-fest in the Poser forum, do we.......so it'll all have to wait for a different discussion venue.
You're right, Shonner. We're likely just a Supreme Court jusitice or two away from such a decision. No doubt, if we manage to get the "right" (he says in quotation marks) man elected this time around -- we'll see a lot of things happening "sooner than we expected". Or wanted.
