So, let’s go over a hypothetical.

You’re in a situation where someone needs to be connected to you with tubes to live. You agree to this, and the tubes are connected. How long are you required to stay connected?

If you want to leave in a week, are you unable to? A month? Two? Nine? A year?

The moment you disconnect those tubes, the person dies. Are you now locked into being connected to this person forever?

Or do you have the right to walk away, because you’re also a human who is making a decision about your own body.

Now add some detriments to the situation. The longer you’re connected, the sicker you feel. The more nutrients they leech, the harder it gets for your body to move. Add in a death rate for fun.

You’re telling me that you are not permitted to make a choice about your body any longer, because at one time you consented to it? (Completely ignoring the fact that this may have been done without consent.)

“If a fetus is a person then consent happened at the time of sex.” Your hypothetical is not relevant to the argument if the person doesnt give consent.

Rape doesn’t exist now?

And you’re completely ignoring my comment, to cherry pick the very last line.

Did you really want to go to the edge cases?
