Thanks. This whole derailment from topic smells delisive, and tastes impracticable, and it's starting to sound like ostentaion. Old, white, pedantic ostentaion

I think it's fitting. In the US, we tend to side with supporting the rights of either party to choose not to preform an action. Patient has the right to not undergo treatment. Doctor has the right to not preform treatment. It stems
