Gee, I guess the government would have no say in whether anyone would have to participate or wether or not a person, having entered into the treatment would have to continue supporting the other person. It's their right, because their body is their property (or their body _is_ them in the literal sense, guess it depends on who you ask) Not that I think electing to have the other person disconnected before their survival was assured would be moral. I'd consider it quite immoral. I think there is a definite division between what is moral and what is legal. I don't mind that the disconnection process before the treatment is complete is legal at all, as I don't think the government should dictate anyone's morality. Though I guess that does raise the question of whether the government should do something about people who consider murder (among other things) moral. I don't know. Maybe. -Tom
