- 6. Sexual ethics: Evaluation of Contractarianism
- Consent
- Fully informed
- Voluntary
- Mutual
- Strengths of the approach
- Must have autonomous ability to give consent
- Freedom
- Important to sexual relations as you have freedom to express yourself
- Contractarianism excludes:
- ****
- Female genital mutilation
- Domestic violence
- Prostitution (most prostitutes feel they have no other choice or option - decision not voluntary)
- Links to ********** rings and child prostitution
- Criticisms
- Rocco's finger
- Rocco (poor barber's son) exchanges his right-middle finger for $5,000 dollars (deal made with neighbour Vito)
- A social contract in the sense of agreement made freely, mutually and informed
- Highlights how contractarianism is not useful for preventing yourself voluntarily using yourself as as a commodity in exchange for money, etc.
- Suggests contractarianism is unreliable for prostitution, money, exploitation
- Modern example: surrogacy
- Rocco (poor barber's son) exchanges his right-middle finger for $5,000 dollars (deal made with neighbour Vito)
- Rocco's finger
- Consent
