If the two sides of the people are viewed as forks, in the classic
transhumanist sense, partially informed consent is given by the
about-to-be-forked entity prior to the fork, for one copy to become a
slave while the other loses their working hours (with the resulting
difficulty in subsequently working anywhere else, with job skills
decaying and a growing hole in their resume).  There is some question
about just how much information, in particular about the consequences
of the arrangement, is given ahead of time.

Spoilers ahead...
