I think those are actually closer to a lot of the other major decisions that have focused on bodily autonomy, because they are victimless crimes or crimes in which the only "victim" is the person doing those things. So this is a much less appropriate place to apply the slippery slope argument than it might appear. Because there are already things further down the slope that have already happened. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...
