Abstract: | In recent years there has been much philosophical discussion over the question of whether the prohibitions on markets in such
items as human body parts and gene sequences, and services such as human reproductive labor and sex, should be lifted. Yet
despite the attention paid to this issue there are been surprisingly little discussion of the question of whether markets
in certain items that are currently freely traded should be restricted or eliminated. In particular, there has been little
discussion of the question of whether markets in items that could be readily used to deceive people should be restricted.
I argue in this paper that one of the central moral values of the contemporary West – respect for personal autonomy – requires
that such markets be restricted. |
