Thoughts on the Connecticut court ruling?

It's her own body, let her decide.

She is a child. She shouldn't have a say.

She is dying. The state has an obligation to treat anyone with terminal sickness.

I don't care.

Today, a CT Supreme Court ruling upheld the state of Connecticut's decision to force a 17 year old girl by the name of Cassandra Calendar, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, to go through chemotherapy for treatment of the illness. In the state's argument, they claimed that the girl did not understand the severity of her prognosis and that she lacked competency extended to maturity. She already ran away from joke after undergoing two treatments, as she believes the chemo will cause more damage than the cancer. So, Flood, what's your opinion? EDIT: The third option is "the state has an obligation to treat anyone with terminal illnesses".

  • The fact that our "justice" system can force someone to do something to their body that they are vehemently against is absolutely sickening. Maybe her judgment is misplaced, maybe it isn't, but that's for her and her family to work out, [i]not[/i] the government.
