| > A government has the duty to provide for the welfare of their people. You state this as if it is an universal principle. It is not. Why don't you and everybody else provide for your own welfare? > In a psychiatric institution you could for example inject the medicine into them. Some countries deem persons with certain sexual preferences as mentally ill. (homosexuals)
How would you feel about imprisoning them in a psychiatric ward and injecting some "medicine" against their will to "treat" them. You may find this example not applicable because it is obviously wrong to do that but I can tell you this much: No matter how much you feel that you are sitting on the moral high horse and know it all, in a hundred years people will analyze how we acted this very moment and conclude we were a bunch of backward barbarians. Let's not revert back to the backwards behavior our precursors deemed morally right a hundred years ago. > If a person's mind is gone so haywire that they're destroying their own body, that they don't have adequate control of their mind (as is the case with schizophrenics), that they don't eat or even respond to human communication, and they have been diagnosed with a mental disorder then you should institutionalize them until their mind regains control. Which could be translated for many into: Imprisonment for life. >> Who is responsible for the cost of doing so?
> Taxpayer And if it's not sufficient we'll just raise taxes and steal even more. Simple solution. |
