Whose Body Is It?

Take the case of BruceTower. Tower has prostate cancer. He wanted to take a drug that showed promise against his cancer, but the Food and Drug Administration would not allow it. One bureaucrat told him the government was protecting him from dangerous side effects. Tower's outraged response was: "Side effects -- who cares? Every treatment I've had I've suffered from side effects. If I'm terminal, it should be my option to endure any side effects."

Of course it should be his option. Why, in our "free" country, do Americans meekly stand aside and let the state limit our choices, even when we are dying? 

Government is already in control of many of our medical options and, as John Stossel points out, is restricting our freedom to make our own choices by imposing its "one size fits all" policies and regulations. So, how can we expect anything except more of the same if Congress gives us Obama Care?
