Re: Quick question for pro life people.
Your autonomy points are perfectly reasonable, and I think few here disagree that personal autonomy is massively important.
But let me ask you this:
Do you believe we should intervene in the case of schizophrenics, or should they be free to cut themselves during a relapse "to get the demons out"? This isn't some made up scenarios, this stuff (and worse) actually happens - to people who are quite normal when not suffering from psychosis.
As for the slippery slope argument, the interesting thing is that a greater understanding of the brain has lead to greater personal freedom for almost all mentally ill. Please explain?
