How a Trump judicial nominee reignited the debate over dwarf tossing - The Washington Post.pdf

My perception, after reading the article, is that there are many places that have banned dwarf tossing.One reason may be that it dehumanizes dwarfs. Is that a persuasive argument? Do we consistently apply that principle? What do you think of the argument that dwarf tossing doesn't produce social benefits the same way that selling blood or selling kidneys produces social benefits and therefore it shouldn't be allowed? And what of the principle the economist would apply: it is a voluntary exchange and the dwarfs agreeing to participate do so voluntarily and are compiensated. Therefore, why restrict something that produces gains to both parties?
