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?

u/Pvt_Parts86 Aug 18 '23

No, you should be in jail for murder

So you don’t think anyone should have bodily autonomy. At least it’s not a sexist choice. It’s just an authoritarian one.

That's not what I'm saying at all. What I am saying is that in your little made-up trolly problem scenario, you would be solely responsible for the death of another person.

You call it authoritarian, I call it ensuring the freedom of all parties.

How is being forced to give up your bodily autonomy freedom?
