I&#x27;m going to assume a generous use of the word &quot;slave&quot; here, as simply a parallel for the loss of freedom that would be experienced by being detained. As opposed to associations of that word to terribly abusive situations, because abuse is never OK.<p>&gt; extortion - the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats.<p>&gt; exploitation - the action or fact of treating someone unfairly in order to benefit from their work.<p>Well, since you&#x27;re not <i>threatening</i> the person nor <i>forcing</i> them to enter into this arrangement, I don&#x27;t really see how you can call it extortion. Unless you want to call leaving them in their current situation a threat, which would be kind of stretching the intent, as that would imply that I am performing violence (the execution of a threat) against every person in need that I am not helping.<p>You could certainly call it exploitation, with the reasoning that providing only basic care in exchange for the services they render is unfair treatment. This would along the same lines as the justification for minimum wage and other employee protections -- that there is some standard minimum that must be met for these relationships.<p>Of course, there are plenty of flaws with this analogy. I can gloss over most of them, except for the nuance that there is a reason as a matter of law that this person is in their original situation to begin with. I think a better parallel would be an exile, perhaps?<p>* Definitions derived from Google. Feel free to provide your own if you feel they are inaccurate and I will reevaluate.
