This doesn't actually apply to adults either... it would never happen. I can't be forced to give my best friend in the whole wide world a blood transfusion, a kidney, a skin graft if I don't want to. That's analagous. (posted to Shaking up my paradigm: what does Choice really mean?)
What's the issue? I found this post to be very much akin to the "Unpacking the Knapsack of Privilege" posts. Kinksters are constantly having these kinds of questions put to them with nary a second thought. It's annoying, condescending and (posted to We've Examined. Now It's Your Turn.)

I like how you applied real word legal interpretation to your hypothetical land. Seems like someone is making up their own self-serving rules as they go along... sure you're not the.past.of.conservatism.? (posted to Shaking up my paradigm: what does Choice really mean?)
I had a LEEP done last week. It wasn't a good experience for me at all. I had the local anesthetic and it didn't work. I felt everything, the heat, the pain... After two "swipes" and me practically jumping off (posted to Personal Story: Get Your Pap Done!)
