Consentability examines the relationship between consent, autonomy, and contract, what it means to consent, and proposes new models for how society should determine which activities should (or should not be) consentable. This book is intended for a general audience, as well as policymakers, legislators, judges, lawyers, scholars, and students.
Problems regarding the nature of consent are at the heart of many of today's most pressing issues. For example, the #MeToo movement has underscored the need to move beyond viewing consent as a simple matter of yes or no. Consent is complex because humans and their relationships are complicated. Humans, as a result of cognitive limitations and emotional and physical vulnerabilities, are susceptible to manipulation and mistakes. Given the potential for regret, are there some things to which one should not be permitted to consent? The consentability quandary becomes more urgent with technological advances. Should we allow body hacking? Cryonics? Consumer travel to Mars? Assisted suicide? In Consentability: Consent and Its Limits, Nancy S. Kim proposes a bold, original framework for evaluating consentability, which considers the complexities surrounding consent.

Nancy S. Kim is Professor of Law at California Western School of Law and a Visiting Professor at the Rady School of Management, University of California, San Diego. She is an elected member of the American Law Institute and the author of numerous articles, essays and two books, Wrap Contracts: Foundations and Ramifications (2013) and The Fundamentals of Contract Law and Clauses: A Practical Approach (2016).
