Re: Am I an asshole? a thread

[(Anonymous)]

No, I'm sorry. That's not AYRT's call to make, at all, and it's at best deeply unethical and morally wrong for them to do what they claim to be doing.

Re: Am I an asshole? a thread

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not saying it's his/her call to make. But what I'm saying is that it's not necessarily as cold-hearted as it seems to be.

Chemo is no joke and getting it unnecessarily can fuck you up, health wise.

Not to mention the financial burden.

You're 100% right that it's not the OP's call to make, but I guess I'm saying that, until OP clarifies, I don't think it's necessarily fair to assume that they're acting out of cruelty. They just might want to protect people from freaking out over something they'd be better off leaving alone.

So...protecting people from themselves? From information they deserve to have? Grown men aren't infants for fuck's sake.

People deserve to have information. What they do with it is another story.

Re: Am I an asshole? a thread

[(Anonymous)]

I think AYRT's point is that anon might be doing something which is morally wrong out of an excess of compassion, rather than out of spite.

Which is probably true, as far as it goes, if unlikely.

Re: Am I an asshole? a thread

[diet_poison]

Compassionate or no, the attitude that people should be protected from themselves is one that REALLY pisses me off.

So either way I vehemently disagree with OP's motives.

Re: Am I an asshole? a thread

But you just admitted yourself that prostate cancer can be incredibly aggressive and lethal.

Which isn't something that can be determined without testing.

Which requires it be discovered.

Which requires a prostate exam.

Which OP is actively discouraging people from getting.

Either they're being cruel, or they're being a willful idiot. Discouraging a patient from seeking dangerous treatment for something unlikely to kill them is one thing - discouraging them from being tested for something that, if present, may be, on the scale of horrible diseases, relatively harmless, or may be incredibly lethal is something very, very different.
