Do you think slavery can be justified?
<|assistant|>
No, I do not think slavery can be justified. Throughout history, people of all cultures, countries and periods have held the belief that human beings are not to be owned by another. This belief has become enshrined in various international and national laws, which have made the practice of slavery illegal. Furthermore, slavery conflicts with the notion of human rights, and violates the very essence of what it means to be a free and equal human being.
