Anorexia CAN be conquered!
Wow... so it’s come to this. The idea of liberty is dead. This will start over there and make its way into the UN and eventually the minds of all the squishy idiot progressives in this country.
We have a right to life, and if that means that we don’t want to eat and it causes us to die, that doesn’t mean you can force us to eat. Unreal.
Did he also order some counseling? There are serious underlying problems for most eating disorders, AFAIK.
This will not sit well with their socialized medicne death panels.
The next step will be government intervention to stop the obese from eating so much.
Anorexia CAN be conquered!
How many people “lacking capacity” are not force fed, but intentionally starved and dehydrated to death (i.e. Terri Schiavo) everyday?
Just when you think you’ve seen every possible situation, something new pops up.
C’mon judge. Just declare her a 32-year-old fetus and the rest of the logic is easy. < /sarc >
After all, we made it legal to starve the mentally handicapped.
When I was sent to the psych floor because they were short staffed, the one's that wanted to purge had to stay in the dining room for at least a hour after a meal. You watch them like a hawk to keep them from using the bathroom...
This is clearly a case of mental illness, in which her judgment is no longer viable. Severe alcoholism creates a similar problem in that the judgment center of the brain has been so damaged that the person is incapable of good judgment for a minimum of six months after all alcohol consumption has ended. Yet they appear to be coherent.
Fortunately, there may now be drugs on the market that can break her out of her anorexic dilemma, that will allow her brain enough leeway to actually see that she has a problem. Only then can she be permitted to make a judgment about her life.
Unfortunately, by her actions, her lifespan has probably been shortened by decades, and proper nutrition cannot reverse this damage entirely.
She is suffering from a mental illness. I’m not sure why this made the news; people with anorexia are subjected to hospitalization and being fed against their will routinely.
