"Child pornography" should be illegal only for those involved in an
activity that involves real abuse or exploitation of a real child.
>
I am skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children.
The arguments that it causes harm seem to be based on cases which
aren't voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified
by the idea that their little baby is maturing.
>
Dubya has nominated another caveman for a federal appeals court.
Refreshingly, the Democratic Party is organizing opposition. >
The nominee is quoted as saying that if the choice of a sexual partner
were protected by the Constitution, "prostitution, adultery,
necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even
incest and pedophilia" also would be. He is probably mistaken,
legally--but that is unfortunate. All of these acts should be legal as
long as no one is coerced. They are illegal only because of prejudice
and narrowmindedness. > Some rules
might be called for when these acts directly affect other people's
interests. For incest, contraception could be mandatory to avoid risk of
inbreeding. For prostitution, a license should be required to ensure
prostitutes get regular medical check-ups, and they should have training
and support in insisting on use of condoms. This will be an advance in
public health, compared with the situation today. >
For necrophilia, it might be necessary to ask the next of kin for
permission if the decedent's will did not authorize it. Necrophilia
would be my second choice for what should be done with my corpse, the
first being scientific or medical use. Once my dead body is no longer of
any use to me, it may as well be of some use to someone. Besides, I
often enjoy rhinophytonecrophilia (nasal sex with dead plants). |
