Whether the government of France has the right to draft you is completely up to the government of France to decide, and they can change their mind at any time. At best you can be comforted in knowing that your bodily autonomy is being voted on in a general election so that a law is passed.
That's all it takes.
- jacquesm 4y agoI'm well aware of that, but right now France doesn't have that, and there is absolutely no indication that they will re-instate a draft. You might as well argue that democracy is against bodily autonomy. The subject is assisted dying, not army conscription.
- rsj_hn 4y agoNo, the argument is about what is moral or immoral. Saying "I'm not going to have an assisted suicide right now" or saying "I will allow you to have an assisted suicide right now" is completely irrelevant to the discussion of the morality of the same. Your argument certainly doesn't depend on timing, does it? France has had conscriptions whenever it needed them. If it needs them in the future, you can be sure it will have them.
