Thank you @Mister_Eppy and @popobawa4u for moving this discussion out of my new favorite thread.
In the US and many other countries humans restrict the rights of some people due to severe mental disability and make them wards of the state. Are mental patients also slaves?
We also restrict the rights of children and assign a kind of parental ownership on parents. Are children also slaves?
Is there any point where an ethical framework for labeling entities as slaves could reach the point of absurdity where you’d decide to update the terms of the ethical framework?
