> I think we agree that an infant in your arms, if one changes his mind about wanting to hold that infant, is now violating one’s bodily autonomy (but feel free to chime in if I’ve misunderstood you). Why then, is one obligated to “put it down”, expending the extra calories to bend over and place it gently on the ground, risking a strained back or hip or knee injury, expending those extra calories involved in the effort, etc.? Why can’t one just drop the baby? Surely you agree that’s the most expeditious route to restoring one’s bodily autonomy, right?
