[RFC] Handwavium Law in the US

[robkelk]

Jumping back to handwavium law, would the Catgirl Act be so broadly and poorly written that Rhett could have charges brought against himself over his own accidental biomodding of himself?

Timewise I'm leaning towards the mid-to-late 20-teens for when Curiosity Biomodded the Rhett takes place. (He really, really should have known to handle the wave better)

Any lawyer can bring any suit against anyone - but smart lawyers know when to not try. Mid-to-late 2010s... I'd say the smart lawyers would know better than to try this one.
