The literal golden rule (LR) says: "If you want X to do something to you, then do this same thing to X." To this one might object that LR tells
{ 1 } - a patient: If you want the doctor to remove your appendix, then remove the doctor's appendix.
{ 2 } - a violent little boy who loves to fight: If you want your sister to fight with you, then fight with her.
{ 3 } - a masochist who wants to be tortured: If you want Jones to torture you, then torture Jones.
{ 4 } - All of the above are objections.
