All that is required is an involuntary personal risk even if it is a risk to catch a cold while saving another's life which this most certainly constitutes.

Do you not understand the definition of the word?
It does not matter that the law does not require the risking of one's own life for your no law REQURES statement to be proven false. It only has to show that risks are mandated to save another's life.

For the temporally and logically challenged:
The Florida law documented here invalidates your statement that there are no laws requiring involuntary personal risks to save another's life. The theory that since there are no such laws to create one to force mothers to bear their children would be wrong. Since there are in fact laws that force involuntary personal risks to save other's lives the logic of the statement is flawed.
Whether it would be right or wrong to force mothers to bear their children (criminalize abortion) will have to be decided based upon another logical reason or theoretical supposition.
ThenDdrak wrote:And there is no law on the books that REQUIRES you to take involuntary personal risks to save another's life. Thank goodness.
And you requested the law to be pointed out.I wrote:There are laws requiring citizens to stop and render aid to accident victims.
With the advent of communicable diseases such as HIV your statement is not entirely accurate.
To which I provided the law you requested.Ddrak wrote:Point out the law that requires someone to risk HIV infection at an accident scene.
To which you raised this objection:I wrote: What Florida Law says about...
Duty to give information and render aid
FSS 316.062 Duty to give information and render aid. Requires the following:
1. Name of driver.
2. Address of driver.
3. And the registration number of the vehicle he is driving.
4. And shall upon request and if available exhibit his license or permit to drive, to any person injured in such accident or to the driver of occupant of or person attending any vehicle or other property damaged in the accident.
5. All of the above information is required to be given to any police officer investigating the accident.
6. Driver shall render to any person injured in the accident reasonable assistance, including the carrying, or making arrangements for the carrying, of such person to a physician, surgeon, or hospital for medical or surgical treatment if it is apparent that treatment is necessary, or if such carrying is requested by the injured person.
Since when you stated that no law requires involuntary risks to save another's life you failed to restrict the involuntary risks to ones which would endanger the life of the rescuee. The objection may or may not be accurate but for the purpose of this discussion it has no pertinence to your statement that no law requires involuntary personal risks to save another's life.Ddrak wrote: "Reasonable assistance" does not and never has included risking ones own life.

I am a firm supporter of passing a new, retroactive abortion law. I feel that any child under the age of 18 can be retroactively aborted if they become a leech on society. All those wanna be gangbanger kids, brain dead junkie teenagers, kids with less than 3.0 grade averages and members of the Britney Spears website would all fall under this new law.

I completely disagree, however it is immaterial to the topic at hand.I asked you point out a law that required you to risk HIV infection. You failed to do so.
Your statement offers no such restrictions as I have pointed out and only requires involuntary personal risks and the law quoted most certainly mandates such risks are taken to save the lives of others.
And I never restricted the scope to HIV only to communicable diseases. These may or may not have death as a risk so requirement for a law requiring the risk of HIV infection is not necessary.
Twist and squirm some more, but the facts of the matter is that your statement was fallacious and you were called on it.
End the hypocrisy!

Rule #1 when performing life saving actions.
Assess the situation to be sure the scene is secure as not to cause unneccessary or additional harm to the rescuee or to yourself.
That would be for anything that may potentially harm either party
Rule #2 Find out as much relevant information about the rescuee as possible to determine best course of emergency treatment during initial evaluation of sustained injuries.
That would be determining if the patient has any allergies, diseases or conditions that may cause more problems for the patient or rescuer. Once those things are discovered then the risks for both parties can be mitigated as best as possible. For those things that can't be determined the rescuer takes any means neccessary to reduce infection or further injury to either party. EMT's, Paramedics, Lifeguards and Search and Rescue personnel civilan and military are taught and adhere to those as best they can given the circumstances. No one is required to risk their own well being in order to save lives. It just kind of happens with the devotion to the job or the ideal of the job
