  • While its true there are outliers like fundamentalists who go to extremes and progressives who deny many rules, there are four major schools in (Sunni) Islamic law that the majority of people follow and they all take at the very least the ruling that the covering for women is everything except her face, hands and feet - when among men who she legally can marry (“mahram”).

    Violating someone’s bodily autonomy causes harm but I don’t think consent itself exists in utilitarianism. “Dont do stuff to people that they dont consent to” is a rule. I think it’s clear that the mental anguish of having your extra kidney taken would be less than all the pain avoided by the child not going through a slow and painful death, and all the happiness they gain in the chance to a life they can now live.

    I don’t think that solves things because I can just come up with a scenario where all these issues don’t exist, it’s clear what’s actually missing is rules like consent.

    So, an example without these issues: someone is kidnapped (drugged, it was painless) and a surgeon without consent removes their kidney, to be used to help a dirt-poor dying child. No threat of infection, no hypothetical of it being sold to an exploitative rich person, etc. but we still have the problem the meme points.
