Very much so, people have the right to refuse treatment though I do understand they may be thought mentally incapacitated and unable to decide. I kinda lean towards, if they're competent enough to keep themselves alive on the street then they should be able to refuse treatment.
- humanrebar 10y agoI have mixed feelings about this, even. They don't always "keep themselves alive" in a way that healthy to both them and the rest of their communities.
- alphabettsy 10y agoYou could potentially say the same for some people who live extremely unhealthy lifestyles as well. The problem is that you have to balance liberty and safety. What's the difference between a person living in the street who generally bothers nobody and a hoarder living indoors in filth, but also bothering nobody, their visibility? I'm aware that it's oversimplifying, but we don't seem to care as much when it's out of sight.
