Dear all, The next meeting of the Moral Sciences Club will be held on Tuesday 12th March. We are delighted to welcome Karamvir Chadha (Cambridge) who will be giving a talk entitled 'Conditional Consent'. Here is the abstract for his talk:
*The English courts are developing a concept of "conditional consent" to sexual intercourse. Someone can place a condition on their sexual consent, and sex in breach of that condition is non-consensual. But there is doubt about how far the concept should extend. There is little doubt that sex in breach of a condition to wear a condom can be non-consensual. But should sex in breach of a condition of payment also be considered non-consensual? To help provide a principled answer to this question, I distinguish two ways in which someone can place conditions on their morally valid consent. I suggest that this distinction helps provide a principled approach for whether to extend the law of conditional consent to sexual intercourse to cover conditions like payment, as well as helping us understand how we place conditions on our morally valid consent in non-sexual contexts. * The meeting will be held from 2:30 until 4:15 in the Jane Harrison Room at Newnham College, and will be followed by tea and coffee. If you would like to have dinner with the speaker in the evening following the talk, please email the secretaries of the club (mscsecretar...@gmail.com) by midday on Monday 11th. This dinner is open to anyone who has attended the talk and those who sign up for dinner will be notified of the details closer to the time.
