Paper Summary

The article discusses whether adults should be allowed to agree to harm or risk of harm to themselves. It looks at how much harm is acceptable, if people can agree to different levels of harm in activities like surgery or sports, and if they can agree to diseases being spread. The study explores what counts as a true agreement to harm.
