dc.description.abstractWe live in a society where the government takes a lot of measures to increase our safety. We encounter these measures on a very regular basis. If we only look at traffic rules there are many examples, for instance the obligation to wear a seatbelt in a car or a helmet on a motorcycle. Not many people dwell on these obligations or think of them as peculiar, yet at the same time these rules are paternalistic. The most obvious reason why most people accept these rules, even though they restrain our freedom, is because they make our society safer and protect people from harm. Hence, for the sake of our safety, we are willing to accept some infringements of our individual freedom. We accept the obligation of a seatbelt because it makes the chance of harm smaller.en_US
