Say no 2 Medical Intervention: New York Times
NYT
Whenever I have written about this, not withstanding geography which is irrelevant, I am always denounced as “not being helpful” but it is not my job to be helpful. I am simply presenting another POV. One that is never allowed to be articulated in any kind of forum whatsoever. I would chose to die versus going through the hell of this disease. Maybe it’s not hell for you. But it would be for me.
I have every right to make that decision.
Life is not sacred.
Suicide is always an legitimate option. Life comes with risks. It is not always livable especially caught within the grip of medical interventions.
Rape changes a lot of things.
One of those things is the control I have over my body. It is mine. It is not given away to anyone.
With or without HIV.
With or without a task force.
The medical community is PERSONALLY OUTRAGED when anyone takes this stand, and I have arrived to tell you that medical intervention becomes a way of life, it is expensive, and it is turning your body over to a system that will abuse you and you are not me. I see it differently, I see it clearly, for me, enough is enough.
I refuse to spend the rest of my life being subservient to an institution that, that for me, is torture, indifference, and extraordinary humiliation.
There is no way on this earth that I would chose to participate in this herd behavior.
This POV is always dismissed. I am here to simply say you can say no to a lifestyle of giving up your autonomy, it’s just not worth it.
