You've equated absence of regulation of body to absence of regulation of business entities without defining the reasoning (which will fail a low effort challenge if you present it). You then extend that error to examples of sale of body parts and a flawed question.

OPs quote is clear unless you'd working to redefine the word they used: "unconditional". I don't have to provide the reasoning. OPs quote doesn't allow any reason to change the outcome. How is "regulation" which presents specific conditions compatible with the OP's original quote of "unconditional"?

"Unconditional" obviously violates the social contract. My error was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're not participating in meaningless mental masturbation. Cum soon. You've better things to do.

Good arguments should stand up to scrutiny. If this one fails its because the premise is flawed. I'm not claiming to have all the answers, but I'm pointing out that the OP's quote stood strong on language but weak under observation. You took up the banner in defense of the OP quote. I don't know if you lost faith in the OP argument or just don't recognize its flawed.

I'm exploring an idea someone else presented. I'm not sure why you engaged if you weren't interested in doing the same.
