That you assume complexities in the case of children, yet discount the existence of complexities in slavery doesn't just make it so....unless that you assume that every possible slave in every possible slavery example is always a moral agent.

I'd venture a guess that their are similar complexities in both tyes of situations, but that's probably for another topic altogether.

ummm... lol? It makes no difference whether or not the slaves were moral agents; it wouldn't justify the fact that they were bought and sold like property, or treated inhumanely, etc. Slavery really has very little of the complexity of the child issue; but if you're going to make such a mind-boggling claim, at least provide your reasoning!

EDIT: Let me expand a bit. Take some 8 yr old boy, who's clearly not a moral agent. The fact that he isn't a moral agent doesn't mean he becomes property, and it certainly doesn't mean that someone could take possession of the kid and work him like a slave. Thus I really don't see what complexities in slavery cases that you are referring to. But by all means, my ears are open.
