What a fine, fine topic for this forum. Ethics, law, it's all there. Of course, I'm not a lawyer (though it sounds as if one has to be one to have any fun on college campuses these days). So far as I know, many contracts bind folks even if they change their minds, and there are also such things as irrevocable consents and authorizations. I suppose it's all in the wording, the competence of the person to make the agreement in the first place, and the legality of the thing being agreed to (contracts for illegal things are automatically void, I think, such as selling one's kidney [in the U.S.] or participating in a crime). Side note: Why should one's kidney be any different from one's blood, hair, or semen? (There is an answer; anyone want to say what it is?)
