Also, for anyone that believes a 17 year old should be forced to have toxic chemcials pumped into him based on government order, should the government be held accountable if the treatment harms him?
No, the government has no right to step in and tell anyone what medication they have to take unless they are a danger to society at large. The problem is that as time goes on the government is seen less and less like a governing agent and more and more like the society’s parents- dictating such things as seat-belt laws, helmet regulations, so on and so forth. The fact of the matter is that people for the most part are more than willing to allow the government to tell them how to live, and cases like these are simply the natural out growth.
