[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to disability rights advocates she’s making a lifestyle choice. As long as she’s not suicidal or homicidal she can’t be committed in most states. Most folks like this are kept in American jails. 10 times as many people with serious mental illness are in jails rather than hospitals today. Realistically she’d be under court ordered treatment for whatever it is. It’s a huge human tragedy.[/quote] I’m not sure how they argued someone not of sound mind is making a lifestyle choice. Awful to hear. [/quote] Because, a lot of people with mental health issues refuse medication saying they don’t need it and they are fine. You can’t forcefully medicate them so it seems the compromise is unless they are danger to others or themselves you leave them alone.[/quote]
