Abstract | Conclusion In spite of my reservations on the key points of Professor McMurtry's article, I think that he has written the most interesting and sustained case for the liberation of children which I have seen. If he is wrong that children are not identical in status to slaves, he is surely right that some children are treated as badly as slaves were often treated and that our laws at the present time make it very difficult to intervene. If he is wrong in his presupposition that children are persons by the very fact of their being human beings, then he is erring on the side of angels. Because if we thought them so, then we would be much less likely to abuse them. And if our laws treated them so, we would have grounds for preventing the treatment of children as less than human by parents or other adults. |
