When/ how does a child become emancipated from his or her parents?
Would communities set arbitrary age limits on certain voluntary interactions to protect vulnerable children? Such as “statutory” rape for example? Does this violate NAP?
If my adult sibling engages in destructive behavior would it be socially acceptable for me to use force in certain circumstances? Could I kidnap my alcoholic brother and lock him in rehab? Can I confiscate my sister’s money to prevent her gambling? [i]
Can Bush pre-emptively invade Iraq? Japan, Pearl Harbor?
Can/ should I intervene in a suicide attempt, self-immolation (as a form of protest), self-harm.
What level of responsibility do parents have to their children?
Is euthanasia acceptable, if so in what circumstances? Is removing life support worse than actively euthanizing someone?
When is an abortion violating NAP? A medical procedure until the point the fetus develops _____ ?
EDIT- What about circumcision? The bible says uncircumcised males cannot enter heaven (Jews only?). There is debate over health benefits..... I read (in Freakonomics) that circumcised males taking part in a study had 50% the HIV infection rate of those with a foreskin. But some circumcised boys grow up wishing that they had a foreskin. Some undergo surgery to attain an approximation of a foreskin. Some claim that circumcision reduces sensitivity to sexual pleasure.
Lets leave female circumcision for later.
I think these are difficult questions. Who will answer them? -EDIT
*I'm holding back here. I may post some more controversial questions later.*
