Reply #105: the problem I have with you idea

[reggie the dog]

is this.

How, and by whom, is it determined that an evacuation is to be forced upon people? Should we really be able to force people out? If we put in enough resources to evacuate everyone and some people refuse then that is their right. I personally support the right for people to kill themselves as well as doctor assisted suicide. My view that people should be allowed to harm themselves is the same view that makes me believe that all drugs should be legal for people 18 and over. If someone wants to snort heroin all day long so be it, if you want to drink gasoline go for it. Having said that my desire for solidarity makes me want to have health care as a right so that doctors, psychiatrist, and addiction counselors would be available to all. If, after society has done all they can to aid someone, the person still wants to hurt themselves we should not really do anything to stop them.
