These laws are unholy. Fuck them.

I’d be interested in knowing if there’s any precedent for this with other elective surgeries. If the person is required to fondle a bunyon or look at a laparoscopic video of their soon-to-be liposuctioned fat.

Seriously, there may be warning information that doctors are required to show in some cases, but I’m not sure. This is kind of awful and scary.

In one of the Douglas Adams’ books (I believe it was The Restaurant at the End of the Universe) a cow would walk up to the diners table and ask which cut of meat the diner would like the cow to sacrifice itself for. It has been many years since I read these, so I;m just bit shaky on what was where.

A buddy was in town last weekend from Phoenix. Thanked him for being from a state more redneck than mine. But just barely.

This law also prevents patients from suing their doctors in the event the doctors provide them with false information. The intent is to keep people from suing doctors who don’t tell them their baby has a genetic disorder--to prevent people from aborting those babies.

Aside from that being an amoral solution to what some consider a problem, this could go wrong in so many OTHER ways ... the courts had really better turn this over. Fast.

I hate these fucks.

You think you do? Try living among them.
