Attached below is a article and video which goes over the well-known case of Dax Cowart, who was severely burned, and forced to undergo medical treatments.
Though this case happened in 1973, imagine the numerous unknown cases of forced/coerced treatments that happen every day to people since then, as evidenced in nursing homes/ Long-term Care Facilities.
Some argue that this long-life/low quality mentality of modern medicine creates more psychological distress in the dying process, prolongs death, and increases suffering in humans. In addition, the law does not seem to stop forced treatments from happening (as evidenced with Dax, LTC facilities, and the like). Others (like Dax's mother, and certain med. personnel) believe in quantity of years /that all human-life is precious, and should be saved regardless. Then there are those somewhere in between, or those that never faced these types of situations yet.
I'm pro-choice, but i won't comment further on this discussion thread, other than a like symbol acknowledging i read any potential comments. Because i would like to objectively hear other people's points of views, convos, stories, thoughts, comments, concerns, etc.... Thank you for reading, peace, and Best wishes.

PS. There are other videos on youtube if you're interested. They will show Dax's life story, or him undergoing burn treatments- but I thought those might be too graphic to post, and i am unfamiliar with the trigger warning thing.
