| richardhutnik said: If you want to argue that, then one can argue that so long as there is no coersion, knife fights to the death are ok. I personally have greater concern about the knife fights than the coersion, because society is full of coersion that people don't die from. Also, it gets increasingly vague as to what is coersion and what isn't. Being forced to choose between a knife fight to the death, or a family member dying of starvation, is a form of coersion that can happen given certain economic conditions, and a society that has no value for human life. |
If two people - neither of whom I know - are so pissed off at one another that they want to fight each other to the death and they are so stupid as to do it, I don't see why it's any of my business. Is S&M unethical behavior, and should it be legal? Because you own yourself and your body, and if you willingly enter into an agreement with another party to inflict harm on one another's bodies, what is the difference whether it's fighting or fucking?
