  • Oh there are some details left out that I desperately need to have clarified.

    • Wouldn't the cost have been the same (perhaps more) if the exact same calls were being made during the day?
    • What exactly was the bug, and how would it have been resolved?
    • Did she get "fired"?
  • So I'm like 13 years old, climbing a tree at a friend's house. It's a bit of a shimmy up the trunk, I'm well in the air, hugging the tree. I look down at my feet to make sure I have footing before lifting a hand above my head to reach for a branch.

    As my head is going from looking down to looking up, just as I am grabbing the branch and hanging from it, I realize that my nose is almost touching a big old wolf spider mama, fully laden with all her children.

    DROP

    I never climbed that tree again.

  • You're not wrong, but if the law says "legal until viable", then that physician's decision must be reviewable in court. Which means that no physician is going to sign off on "not viable" and put themselves at legal risk.

    This is why the law should just say "legal", full stop. (e: I just realized that you also used the phrase "full stop." I promise I was not trying to be snarky, it just came out.)

  • "Viability" can even be quite fuzzy, because it all depends on the capabilities of medical science, and even then there's a gray area. And who gets to decide whether a fetus that tests for a given birth defect is "viable"? Does "viable" mean that the fetus can be forced to have a heartbeat outside of the womb, even if they have to be cared for in a vegetative state forever?
