not a lawyer but there are some things a contract can't do no matter how signed, dated, and notarized. I think things like liability waivers for theme parks is an example. If a theme park roller coaster kills 50 people the signed liability waivers aren't a get of consequence free card for the theme park.

Yes. You're right. I meant those as hypothetical questions to the person saying "they signed a contract". That excuse has been used to excuse a lot. I hoped that thinking about what is and insert excitable because of a contract might change some minds.

Legally speaking it is as you say, but I was asking from a moral perspective.
