Slippery slope also known as absurd extrapolation, thin edge of the wedge, domino fallacy or camel's nose[1] is an informal fallacy which occurs when the conclusion of an argument relies on a supposed chain reaction, starting from a relatively insignificant first event, leading to a more significant event, and so forth, until an ultimate event take place, and there is no sufficient reason to think that the chain reaction will actually take place.[2][1]

Examples
- "we can not let our son leave the closet because if we do, he might want to leave our house. If he leaves home he might eventually want to leave the neighborhood. If he leaves the neighborhood, he can be hijacked and used as a slave in another country. Therefore we should keep our son locked in the closet."
Formal example
Formally speaking this fallacy has the following structure:
A leads to B, then C, ... then ultimately Z!
