That's not a freedom.
- relaxing 9mo agoIt’s a special kind of delusion that thinks being dead is more free than being alive.
- philipallstar 9mo agoYou're wrong, in two ways: - bodily autonomy; people do have the freedom to sign DNRs, which is death being more free than being alive, as it's about choice - freedom isn't to do with people giving you things; it's about being able to choose things. It's not "freedom from"; it's "freedom to"
- relaxing 9mo agoFreedom to die by one’s own choice is indeed a freedom. Stupid semantic games. “Freedom to” not die in the streets works just as well.
- akramachamarei 9mo agoYou seem to be implying that to fail to enforce the right to sustenance nets negative freedom. It's not clear whether you've weighed the loss in freedom required to enforce this right. Can I presume you believe this right is worth forcing people to give, forcing by threat of armed expropriation or incarceration?
