Risky in the current political climate, though. We'll see where things go from here but the side that would support slavery for life contracts still has a sitting president (who is acting a bit too calm at having just lost the house and senate).
Yeah, but any litigation about this kind of thing always takes years. So either we have new leadership, or we are already totally screwed worse than the contract.
Hence it being risky as its impossible to tell what kind of people will have authority over the decision process if it ends up in court and what their values will be. What might be ridiculous to some are exactly the kind of "gotchas" that predatory people love.
Slavery for life contracts wouldn’t be slavery though as it was entered into willingly.
Speak of the devil...
