I agree in principal, but as a society we've probably invested a lot in that individual over the years for healthcare, schooling, etc. Their friends and family have likely made financial and emotional investments in them too. There is a lot of room to at least have some checks on place before you're allowed to exercise that right.

- a2tech 7y agoSo the rights of society trumps my own ability to self-determination? If society can dictate that, then there is no basis for any sort of personal freedom.
- flukus 7y agoYes, absolute personal freedom does not exist in anything we'd call a society. Some just grant more/different freedoms than others.
