Oppose the law because it is a clear violation of privacy rights.

The other thing I'm wondering - if the family can petition the court to put someone into treatment, can they pull them out if they decide it isn't working for them, or the program itself is harmful?  Not all people respond well to a particular treatment program.

Good question. I'll pass that on, and will give the lady's response as soon as I can.

I understand the whole "privacy rights" issue, part of the reason I'm somewhat torn at it. But are privacy rights worth lives being lost?
Tyler Clementi's family may like to have a word with you.

Certainly Jennifer is now very glad her rights to privacy have been respected.
Unless you can prove otherwise, I see no reason to assume that Jennifer did anything other than make personal choices that she felt were proper decisions in her desire to live a fulfilling and enjoyable life. While I understand the hurt her family may feel, the notion that we could dictate happiness is ridiculous.

Another day posting, another discussion where good people who believe in freedom have to help Antonio realize he is essentially a social conservative.

Thanks for giving your thoughtful contribution to the debate.

Considering the debate here basically started with my post, thank you.

Who are you to
A. Decide what is best for someone else's well-being
B. Assume one does not know and accept the consequences of their own decision??

Upon reading the bill, this may just be the worst proposal I've seen since "patent reform" made its debut.

Shooting a random person is not the same thing as using drugs. Fail. You are relying on subjectivity to make an arguement that should be given an objective and logical rationale.
