The consequence is that a unique intelligent, sentient being ceases to exist. That's absolutely terrible. And worse, they might die without receiving proper treatment or it might become available soon after.
- whalesalad 2y ago> The consequence is that a unique intelligent, sentient being ceases to exist. Why is this such a bad thing? I see no issue here. Forcing another to exist just because they have some kind of untapped value that hasn't manifest yet is antiquated thinking. Obviously rehabilitation and therapy should be on the table, to try and bring someone back to normalcy - but if that fails we should not falter.
- throwaway11460 2y agoIt's a bad thing because I have personal experience with the court taking over my decision making when I wasn't in a mental state to do it for myself. I'm immensely grateful even though I didn't think so at the time, fought it and thought they have no right to do so. I had no idea things can change so much and wasn't thinking clearly, life is beautiful now.
