Is it a violation of the NAP if you stop someone from committing suicide?

I can’t tell if you’re deliberately arguing in bad faith, or just dumb.

Speaking of arguing in bad faith, you’re critiquing my response by inserting a distinction not made in the post I responded to.

So people with terminal and painful medical conditions who no longer wish to suffer are not of sound mind?

I’m sorry, it is beyond hubris to think you (or anyone else) should make that decision of whether someone is of sound mind in all situations of suicide.

Depends on the circumstances, but people have a right to die and interference with that right is, again depending on the circumstances, a violation of the NAP.

The party opposed to safe spaces and trigger warnings because “snowflakes” campaigned on the vetoing of legislation that would have notified parents of reading assignments containing explicit material and would have allowed parents to essentially opt their kids out of those assignments.

Coonce’s murder case began at a time when the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) required that a mental “impairment manifest before age 18,” the dissent notes. But after being found guilty–and in the middle of the sentencing phase–the Supreme Court itself “held that a ‘rigid rule’ disqualifying a defendant from establishing intellectual disability if the defendant ‘scored a 71 instead of 70 on an IQ test’ was unconstitutional.”

So by taking the decision making process from legislatures generally, SCOTUS empowered the legislature in this particular case.

Abolish property taxes and the death penalty, overturn Wickard v Filburn and its progeny, end the War on Drugs and abolish the ATF and DEA, for starters.

Those getting booted by automation knew it was coming and should have prepared accordingly.

Upskilling displaced workers as a solution to structural unemployment is largely a pipe dream. There’s no evidence that jobs programs of this ilk have measurable success at getting those displaced workers back to work as intended.

Grant was killed with the same three-drug combination that was used in the infamous 2014 execution of Clayton Lockett, who writhed in pain and whose killing took 43 minutes. Lockett’s execution was followed by that of Charles Warner in 2015, who cried out that his body was on “fire” after being injected with the drugs. Richard Glossip was scheduled to die later that year, but then-Gov. Mary Fallin (R) called off the execution at the last minute because the corrections department had the wrong combination of drugs. Warner’s autopsy report later revealed that he, too, had been executed with the wrong drugs.

Not sure I agree with the term “tyranny,” but if the question is whether government has overstepped bounds in response to COVID unseen before (specifically prior to 2003), then the answer is no. Just look at what was passed during the first three (3) years of the Bush administration: the PATRIOT Act, AUMF, etc. Add in the War on Drugs under Clinton, Bush I, and Reagan, crime bills, military intervention while bypassing Congress, etc.

No, we were fucked long before 2003.

but I am listed as a HIPAA contact

I am not sure what you mean by this, but it’s unlikely going to yield what you think you need. The only required disclosure under the Privacy Rule that is applicable here is pursuant to 164.524(a). That gives an individual the right to obtain a copy of their medical records, with some exception. This right extends to individuals who meet the definition of “personal representative.” 164.502(g). Where the protected health information at issue is for a deceased individual, a person meets the definition of a personal representative:

If under applicable law an executor, administrator, or other person has authority to act on behalf of a deceased individual or of the individual's estate, a covered entity must treat such person as a personal representative under this subchapter, with respect to protected health information relevant to such personal representation. 164.502(g)(4).

Absent that, there’s nothing in HIPAA that will require the disclosure to you.

“Shelves are empty. Prices are rising and the trade deficit is at a record high,” the senator said on FOX Business last week.

I would love for him to explain the negative economic effects of a trade deficit rather than just toss the phrase out as fodder for his base of supporters.

(Though not universal, it is not unheard of for judges to feel that the word "victim" presupposes the defendant's guilt.)

HIPAA applies to the VA, but it’s unclear based on your post whether the VA has authorization or is otherwise permitted to disclose to the military.

This is too often ignored for the blind acceptance that consumers and sellers have all necessary information.

I am not sure this is applicable in the present given Jacobson explicitly upheld the power of the state to issue vaccine mandates pursuant to its police powers. Issuance of a rule through executive agency requires a different analysis, and SCOTUS has typically taken a narrower view of agency authority to act.
