No, I'm not assuming consent implies never giving up control. I'm assuming consent implies being able to rescind consent when you're no longer happy with the relationship, which is pointed out as completely missing in CDD based on the stories quoted above.

Did you read the article? The main thrust of it was about the wives that want to change or leave the arrangement and are not given a voice or chance to do so.

And apparently no one said or did anything. That is the most disgusting part.

I think the judge's ruling was a mistake. From what I understand there is a medical reason that there is one list for people under 12, and another for people over 12. The legal system does not need to tell medical professionals how to organize their donor lists just because a cute ten year old has a tragic story. I

OK, time for me to be a dick: this kind of sucks.

There is a shortage of adult lungs. That's why adults are in line for transplants too. The shortage is less severe, but adults die waiting for transplants too. I feel sorry for this girl and her parents, but I also feel sorry for the adult (or, possibly, 14 year old child) that didn't get lungs because she did. I

It makes me seem like a bad person, but...I just don't know how I feel about this. I mean, I am glad that this little girl is doing better, but the list is a list - meaning there are other actual people waiting in line. It's not like there are so many extra lungs hanging around that they get thrown out like day-old

I am not judging them. I am judging a medical system that allows the loudest screamer the best service.

I really don't like how our society values children above everyone else. A transplant isn't a cure for CF, she's just going to live a bit longer now. Someone else might've been able to live a full life with those lungs. And she's never going to contribute much to society, as cruel as that sounds. She'll be lucky

Sorry I'm gone have to hit you with this shit right now.

Sorry. That's bullshit. Would he say it in my face? No. Then, he knows he is doing wrong. Don't condone or apologize for it.

I can't believe a judge ACTUALLY issued an injunction. Considering spousal permission or notification laws were ruled unconstitutional in a case that came out of PA, you'd think the judge would know that allowing this kind of lawsuit also infringes on a woman's rights. He probably did know, actually, he probably

I see in that case that a judge did initially issue a temporary injunction - so no, I don't think it's laughable that someone would be able to find a judge would would grant the restraining order. It wouldn't stand up, but those things can take time - not something you always have when your state bans abortion after a

You are that guy— or should I say "boy". You can't even be called a man if you don't respect women and think feminism is the "dumbest movement in human history." I really hope you hate to be him, too.

Nah man, there is a huge and awful group of people on the internet who have been just AWFUL about this entire project. Attacking Anita herself, attacking her work, attacking her ideas... and it's been done such that it's clear that it doesn't matter in the slightest what she puts in her videos, these people are out

That depends, are they going to argue her points in a respectful matter or are they going to be-

Here's how the insurance mandate works:

YES! I was like OF COURSE Aaron Echolls is a creepy weirdo!

SO HAPPY that he's apparently going to be in the ensemble cast and not just a cameo! Someone said it earlier and I agree- you can just tell he and Roger Sterling are destined to be BFFs.
