So what happens if the infant doesn't give consent? Obviously he or she
isn't going to say a direct "no" but what if their reaction to the
request to change the diaper gets a negative response, like the baby
crying or squirming or somehow signalling that it's not keen on a
change? Do they just leave it in its own filth until it finally gives
consent?
The whole idea of getting consent is preposterous when the baby can't
even express consent or probably even formulate the concept of consent.
I would think a young child is not capable of very much at all beyond
being unhappy (due to a wet or full diaper) or feeling hungry.
And what happens when the child is older and *can* give consent? If you
tell it to change its clothes because they need to be washed or because
the youngster is starting to smell, do you just let it keep the same
clothes on out of respect for its autonomy, even if that will eventually
breed diseases or at least make it a social outcast?
I can't help but think this is not going to make for a nice human being
but rather than a creature whose ego is all-consuming: every whim it has
MUST be satisfied or it will react very badly indeed.
