Problems regarding the nature of consent are at the heart of many
of today's most pressing issues. For example, the #MeToo movement
has underscored the need to move beyond viewing consent as a simple
matter of yes or no. Consent is complex because humans and their
relationships are complicated. Humans, as a result of cognitive
limitations and emotional and physical vulnerabilities, are
susceptible to manipulation and mistakes. Given the potential for
regret, are there some things to which one should not be permitted
to consent? The consentability quandary becomes more urgent with
technological advances. Should we allow body hacking? Cryonics?
Consumer travel to Mars? Assisted suicide? In Consentability:
Consent and Its Limits, Nancy S. Kim proposes a bold, original
framework for evaluating consentability, which considers the
complexities surrounding consent.
