To quote myself¹: Some volontary transactions are nonetheless illegal, because to allow them would negatively affect society as a whole. The usual example is that it is not legal (as it once was) to sell yourself into slavery. Also, overly onerous contracts can (in many jurisdictions) not be enforced. Simply put, “It's a voluntary transaction” can never be a sufficient argument for why something ought to be legal. 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26131725 |
