I have a hypothetical situation for you:
You don't know me, and you don't care about me. I need a kidney to live. My kidneys cannot function on their own.
You have a kidney. I decide to sneak into your house, tranquilize you, and against your will connect one of your kidneys to my body and exploit it.
Sorry, you can't disconnect me. You've got to walk around with me attached to you for as long as it takes for me to recover. You cannot start a new job, participate in many physical activities, ride roller coasters, or drink alcohol. Your personal appearance will suffer, and you may suffer adverse health because of me. You also must pick up all of the medical bills, as I am unable to work because of my lack of any kidneys at all. After some period of time, my kidneys will start to work on their own, but since you gave rise to their proper operation you are now legally obligated to ensure my proper care and upbringing for 18 years. You are also legally obligated to sacrifice your most basic needs and wants to ensure that I have food, medical care, school uniforms, and other related expenses. You could seek government assistance to help pay for my needs, but you must quit your middle income job and make less than 18,000 per year between the two of us in order to do so. You will most likely be unable to purchase a house, car, or new clothes with this new job. You will have to sell your house, empty your savings account, and downgrade your car in order to get this type of assistance. You can put me up for adoption, but due to my other health issues I will most likely remain under state care for the rest of my life and will be at a much higher risk for sexual abuse, mental abuse, and depression.
Do you cut me off, or do you walk around with me, sacrificing your entire livelihood to meet my needs even though you don't want me?
The choice is yours.
Please rate my post if you found it interesting.
Cheers!
