Ah, interesting, thank you. How does propertarianism deal with my example of parents making medical decisions on behalf of children? It seems like an interesting quandary because a 1 year old can't be expected to make an informed decision on vaccination (for example) and so some control over the child's body must rest with the parents.
- wyager 4y agoI can imagine several strategies compatible with western and near-eastern jurisprudence, such as considering parents to be (temporary) trustees with certain fiduciary duties to their children. I'm by no means an expert in propertarian theory; I just think it's a nice framework for bodily autonomy in particular, since it's computationally efficient, fairly unambiguous, and generally provides agreeable results.
