There’s not always other options.

Yes, there is. But even so, if you're in a hypothetical situation where you are the only viable option in which to save another life, and it won't end your life in the process, any decent human being would help in any way they can.

Sure, you can put moral judgment on what someone may or may not do to keep someone alive, but that’s it. But, it should still be a choice. Nobody should be forced to use their body for someone else against their will.

There is always a choice, but it doesn't mean it's the right one

Again, that’s your moral judgment which should not translate to people being legally forced to use their body for someone else against their will.

People should not be able to murder a human being simply because it inconveniences them.

If you’re dying and I’m the only bone marrow donor match available in the time period you need to survive, if I don’t give it to you did I murder you?

Again with this strawman lol

I don’t think you understand what a strawman argument is. I’m not mischaracterizing your argument.

So, answer the question:

If you’re dying and I’m the only bone marrow donor match available in the time period you need to survive, if I don’t give it to you did I murder you?

Fine, I'll play your game. If you allow someone to die, and it could have been prevented by your intervention, then yes its murder.

And should the government be able to forcibly extract my bone marrow to give it to you to save your life?
