Most likely to be published later this summer of 2022, my 12th book entitled appropriately; Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the 10th and 11th books...
To regard hence respect each and every person's Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on ALL matters as manifested per each and every person's Peculiar Human Ability to Reason. Without exemption or exception, all considerations must rest upon the aforesaid, else the unethical dilemma remaining unjustifiable ergo unresolvable till resumed and revered the one ethos and creed as determined then established since humanity first reasoned.
The Greek philosopher Epicurus (341-270 BC) stated with insight; Justice is a kind of compact not to harm or be harmed. Fast forward some 1800 years, John Locke (1632-1704) wrote similarly; No one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions. Logically similar only if compared the proper elements of these two quotes or axioms and others like them (see Proem & Poem Nos. 129, 147-155). For what is justice if harmed but injustice? For what is life, health, liberty and possession if harmed but injury to these things in various possible forms; termination, affliction, subjugation, confiscation and incalculably more?
And what are both considerations if harmful or injurious but actions or activities against explicit even implicit dissent therefore perceived as harmed or injured the individual’s person, propensity, prerogative, preference, purpose as well profession, purse, possession and property (see Proem & Poem No. 176). To simplify, only the individual’s conclusion on the matter thus dissent versus consent, determines the harm or injury versus no harm nor injury. Only presumption and arrogance well rooted in covetousness would object to such a method of determination.

Inked in gore and gray glories, downing bodies by
rapier
Mostly jury of one, all wrote and told, whether by
paper
Penned or typewritten the odd capers, printed, later
aired
Caressed then finessed as most would, with a bit of
flair
O the speck and splinter fester graver per critical
eyes
Cynically “The ayes have it!” thus vied finically the
guise
Mystically the ruse the racket per the excuse slightly
tacit
Though logically flaccid, academically plain upon
placid
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
