    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→A theory of decisional capacity should be rejected if it fails to be inclusive enough.

    A theory that is maximally inclusive may fail to protect genuinely vulnerable persons from exploitation, producing greater harm than selective exclusion.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Vulnerable populations often lack capacity to consent meaningfully; blanket inclusion exposes them to predatory actors within expanded systems.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Protective exclusion of high-risk contexts can prevent concrete harms that outweigh abstract benefits of maximal theoretical inclusivity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Resources for safeguarding are finite; spreading them across all cases dilutes protections where vulnerability is greatest.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Selective exclusion itself harms vulnerable persons by denying them access, participation, and dignity that inclusion provides.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Exclusion-based protection assumes vulnerability is fixed; inclusive systems with strong internal safeguards better address dynamic harms.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim conflates theory with practice; actual inclusive frameworks need not sacrifice protection—they require better design, not exclusion.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
