[quote=Halo] I'm curious about general opinions on two issues: 1. Smacking children (fairly self-explanatory.) 2. Fertility tourism (.) I'm participating in debates about these two topics, and have been doing some background reading. I've formulated some of my own ideas on them, and I'm curious to see how others feel about them. [/quote] Okay. 1) Yes, when other methods are exhausted and the thing that needs to be taught is a matter of survival. (Basically: Case by case basis. Equal force for equal necessity.) 2) I have little in the way of knowledge on this subject but would initially feel caution would be in order. Not necessarily outright make it illegal, but take it warily.
