It's NOT a slippery slope. You just define the bounds lol
International laws already exist for a lot of things
Again, if its your family, suddenly people like you care.
It's like freedom to carry guns in the US.. That is working out SO WELL, and the NRA will argue that once you take away guns, it's a slippery slope, the government will control you, etc. None of that happens.
The slippery slope argument doesn't really work well, and throughout the years, people have used it to argue against everything from seat belts, to restrictions on kids toys
