Because someone has not experienced natural puberty, they should not be allowed to experience the inhibition of puberty? I am not sure how that alters the form of the argument. I have not experienced paragliding in the Andes. My staying at home inhibits this experience. Does it follow that I should not be allowed to stay at home? Also, doesn't the argument establish the opposite conclusion by merely reversing the order of the propositions?: - because someone has never experienced A (pharmaceutical inhibition of puberty) - they should not be allowed to experience B (natural puberty) I confess that I fail to follow your reasoning. I must say, it's remarkably bold of you to compare the standard of your prose to that of William Burroughs, though I am not sure Burroughs would thank you for holding him up as a paradigm of "English orthodoxy". ![]() |
