Comments on: 34. “Departurism and the Libertarian Axiom of Gentleness” http://libertarianpapers.org/2011/34-parr-departurism/ A Journal of Libertarian Scholarship Wed, 24 Apr 2013 18:59:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Tom Sullivan http://libertarianpapers.org/2011/34-parr-departurism/comment-page-1/#comment-6837 Tom Sullivan Thu, 08 Mar 2012 16:26:36 +0000 http://libertarianpapers.org/?p=1945#comment-6837 I guess one of the issues I have with the departurism scenario / analogy as set forth by Mr. Parr is that trespass on a physical piece of property does not require the same level of sacrifice on the part of the property owner that pregnancy demands of a woman. Pregnancy inflicts both emotional and physical demands on a woman’s body that she may not wish to incur (or may at some point after conception decide she no longer wishes to incur). These costs can literally kill the woman; a cost Mr. Parr’s property owner in S1 is not forced to consider.

The example that I have always considered was the downed airplane pilot. Circumstances far beyond their control place them in the middle of someone else’s property.
