    If someone walks into a hospital and says they want to inject bleach into their veins to cure COVID, is that still covered under bodily autonomy?

      She didn’t want to cure Covid in a hospital, she wanted to end her suffering by ending her life in a dignified way.

      So are you against bodily autonomy?

            That’s because it’s unreasonable and made in bad faith.

            I don’t support any right as an absolute principle. Rights have to be balanced against each other with consideration of the material effects. What you’re doing is applying a principle designed to cover one type of situation to a situation that is only superficially similar. A reductive tactic to avoid engaging with the complexity of the issue.

                Not beating the bad faith allegations lmao

                If it’s such a simple issue, why couldn’t you answer my question 🤔 could it be that you don’t support bodily autonomy as an absolute principle either 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
