I've been looking at unity100's comment about many places where vaccination is mandatory. I am actually surprised. I understand the rational behind it of course, but still I do not support mandatory treatments, even if it indirectly affects others. The only kind of abrogation of freewill I support are laws like those trying to prevent anyone from murdering others. I understand that a line must be drawn somewhere in what is considered a direct enough assault on another's freedom, but vaccination or any other health related issues are not behind that line in my opinion. Where this gets really fuzzy is in cases where we remove children from their mother's care in order to treat them, in cases where parents would prefer to let their child die (or heal naturally with a bit of luck).
