BULBASAUR posted:https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/talkers/family-details-daughters-escape-from-mayo-clinic This an extremely hosed up story, she was capable of making her own decisions about her medical care but they didn't allow her to leave of her own will and sent the loving cops after her. Worth the read, what a wild ride.

BULBASAUR posted:https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/talkers/family-details-daughters-escape-from-mayo-clinic i shoulda explained a little, but the tldr is that a hospital held a family's daugther against her will and they had to break her out and escape the police in order to get a second opinion about her medical condition in america the hospital is one of the 'most reputable'

That's less Cyberpunk and more 19th century though.

quote:Unable to find the family, the police pinged their cell phones. This pointed them to an Applebee's restaurant in Mankato, Minnesota, about 85 miles west of Rochester. Officers searched the restaurant and a nearby Five Guys but couldn't find Alyssa, according to a Mankato police report. is pretty cyberpunk

On the one hand, a ruptured loving aneurysm is v serious and she is lucky to be alive and was probably the best course to keep her under medical monitoring for a long time to ensure she heals appropriately on the other if she wants to die and her parents dont care because she *~seems fine~* then lmao make them sign a waiver of all liability and that they qont seek treatment w you again and send them on their stupid way

Hospitals do sometimes do get empowered to act in their patients' best interest, regardless of their protests (most notably with newborn infants), but that was a little much. Not trusting a patient with brain damage to necessarily have good judgement is reasonable, offhandedly assuming that the mother was mentally ill is sketchy, skipping over the father and just trying to get guardianship appointed on their own is...much. Incidentally, that institution of guardianship is getting used to steal old people's money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG2pEffLEJo

Especially the bit where they considered her mentally competent enough to agree to treatments but wouldn't allow her to make any other decisions.

what's even worse is that this is the first execution since 1997, they abolished the death penalty in 2015, and then reinstated it via referendum in 2016. what a cursed country.

At least the guy probably felt great unlike the way they got executed before which was to paralyze you then let you lay there feeling all your organs shut down.

I'm surprised it took this long for someone to go 'why not just use a lethal dose of morphine' since the EU stopped selling us the torture drug part

Doctors know potassium chloride is lethal. Why does it matter why I chose it?”47

INSIDE PALMER LUCKEY’S BID TO BUILD A BORDER WALL How the Oculus founder, along with ex-Palantir executives, plans to reinvent national security, starting with Trump's agenda. Palmer Luckey—yes, that Palmer Luckey, the 25-year-old entrepreneur who founded the virtual reality company Oculus, sold it to Facebook, and then left Facebook in a haze of political controversy—hands me a Samsung Gear VR headset. https://www.wired.com/story/palmer-luckey-anduril-border-wall/
