    That’s the whole point, if the insane had the capacity to choose for themselves, they wouldn’t be insane. 😉

    I argue that if personal autonomy leads to being homeless on the side of the freeway and, ultimately a miserable existence and death, society has an obligation to step in.

    At some point, someone needs to recognize that that level of autonomy is going to cause a preventable death.
