So if a person asks you to shoot him in the head, do you think it should be legal to shoot him? After all, it is voluntary. It's rather similar to paying a person to expose themselves to AIDS.No, it's quite dissimilar, as the death rates are vastly different. We pay policemen and firemen to expose themselves to life-threatening situations; is that wrong?

We pay policemen and firemen to expose themselves to life-threatening situations; is that wrong? If we do so without regard to their life, yes. We don't send firemen into burning buildings to save some guy's money stash or to make a film.

Policemen and firemen lay their lives on the line in order to secure the greater social good, to prevent the greater loss of life.
A consensual agreement to engage in anal sex, on the other hand, while life risking, does not otherwise promote the greater good of society.
