The Right to Choose
Paul Connett, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at St. Lawrence University, New York stated recently,
- “Enforcing the public to consume (a particular medication), NSW Health is doing what no Doctor is allowed to do - enforce medication. This is an unethical violation of a central tenet of medical practice and a breach of some basic human rights”.
- Medical Cannabis users are already sick and suffering. They are not going to put something into their bodies that is going to make them feel worse or become sicker, which is why many people do not choose to use prescription drugs due to the side effects.
- The right to choose a particular Medication, (as with religion, education, marriage partner and anything else we choose for ourselves as we get into adult years), is a person’s fundamental human right, especially if it proves to be beneficial to them.
- There is no ‘one size that fits all’. Everyone has different needs and those needs should be adequately met.
- “It is not the role of Government to tell people what risks and choices they can and can’t take”. - Former P.M. John Howard
- "In all we do, we must remember that the best health care decisions are not made by government and insurance companies, But by patients and their doctors". - US Pres. George W. Bush
(Pity those in Power don’t always believe and put into practice what they are saying).
