Consent Is Not A Magic Word
- Consent is important in that it means that all parties have a chance to agree to something before it happens, however it makes no value judgement on the action that is about to occur
- Consent can be used to facilitate behaviour that neither party actually stands for but using the magic word of consent it means that there’s a pact formed that both parties are at least aware of what is about to happen
- People can “consent” to hurting themselves and others, it doesn’t mean damage wasn’t done just because they consented to it
