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.
I tell my husband all the time that I do not want to be kept alive on a vent or on tube feedings.....do I know have to worry that they will force me to do these things?.....btw...anorexics can also be bulemic....
Correct.
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
This is an illogical leap. You have gone from the very real right to life to the completely fictional "right to die" as if the former implies the latter.
It does not in any way.
Further, this woman is clearly mentally ill and not in command of her faculties.
“We have a right to life...”
We’re talking about a mental disease. She was given due process as is her right and the due process determined that the woman was unable to make proper decisions for herself due to this disease. The judge erred on the side of life.
This has nothing to do with individual liberty and everything to do with mental illness.
In every US state that I’m aware of the standard for involuntary commitment includes the phrase “a danger to oneself.”
