B: Permission must be granted explicitly, consent to have sex does not equal consent to have someone use your organs against your will.

I would say that “permission” can be granted in a number of ways. Getting yourself pregnant should constitute permission for the unborn to attach to your insides. Take precautions if you don’t want it to happen — but if it still happens, you knew the risk going in.

So, let me ask you a question: my friend is 38 weeks pregnant. Her little boy could be born any day now, perfectly healthy. If she decided to revoke his permission to use her kidneys, could she have him killed for that? Or should he be allowed to use her kidneys for 2 more weeks, against her will?

re: #555 jamesfirecat

Is there something wrong with saying “I want to have pleasurable sex for pleasure it brings me, I don’t want a child to result from this, if one does, I have a right to deny it the right to my organs.”?

Just the bolded part.

Why do you have the right to take a risk, get burned, and then pass on the cost to someone else?
