ABC News Special Report: Sex, Drugs And Consenting Adults
Airdate: Tuesday, May 26, 10:00

"Liberty. What does that word mean?" Those questions begin ABCNEWS
Correspondent John Stossel's one-hour examination of laws against vice and
immoral behavior. With roots in both Puritanism and radical individualism,
America has always wrestled with the meaning and limits to freedom. In
"Sex, Drugs, and Consenting Adults" Stossel talks with Americans who say
that people should only be jailed if they directly harm other people's
personal property.
The report features the views of prostitutes, pot smokers, gamblers, ticket
scalpers, euthanasia defenders, and others who feel that the law unfairly
restricts what we can do with our own bodies and our own lives. Police,
medical ethicists, and government officials, on the other hand, defend the
laws in the name of morality, safety, and community standards.
