This is actually fucking scary.
This sets the precedent that the convict is no longer in possession of their own body and life.
"Death is no escape. You will suffer as long as we want you to."
Welcome to the birth of Hell.
~~I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that is something signed by choice, saying that the prisoner doesn’t want to be resuscitated if they die. I don’t think that is forced on them, but again, I could be wrong.~~
edit: nvm, I get what you’re saying now
Well
I'd be more scared with him free
@luthis
I mean...;
He took away someone else's body and life first.
Thats the problem with just laws and rights. They have to apply to everyone, even those we feel don't deserve it, otherwise they ain't just.
Laws and rights did apply to him.
Except they didn't if he signed a "do not resuscitate" and they did it anyways.
Are you saying we shouldn't try to be better than him?
