Reply to "Personal Rights v State Wants"

Shoals LoverHall of Famer

The central issue in this story parallels the one in the thread entitled "Nursing Home abuse:" by Brentenman.

Here's an excerpt:

Like it or not, a patient in their right mind has an ABSOLUTE RIGHT to refuse any, every and all treatments or interventions.

Even prisoners have the right to refuse treatment.

If they do not have the right, then the state owns them.

And if the state owns them, they are not free.

If they are not free, they are slaves.

Are we free, or are we slaves?
