@ProPublica yes there is a due process failure. No, the patient is incorrect, 2.3% is a very high probability of risk in medicine. That's the same as the risk of death in an accident from a lifetime of driving. Yes, the judge's ruling ultimately supported the patient. Yes, some autonomy was lost. The conclusion is not that all patients are losing autonomy. It's that Doyley is a high risk patient who found herself in a legitimate ethical dilemma due to her unique circumstances.
Cherise Doyley never expected to see a judge while in labor.
Yet she found herself fighting a court for the right to make medical decisions about her own body — from her hospital bed. Here’s how her case unfolded.

@HopelessDemigod by the way the answer to your question is actually already interpreted by modern islamic thought: if god is perfect then god cannot be emotionally entwined in humans. God mediates indirectly through rules. The rules are created so that humans can approach but never fully reach moral and spiritual perfection. It is a pathway. Ironically, human imperfection corrupts the interpretation of perfect laws. You end up with the same problem in a different way.
@HopelessDemigod why would a god feel vengeful? That assumes they have stakes to care, which assumes they interact with the material world and need to regulate themselves. Then they are imperfect. Do you want your god to be perfect or care? Also, delusion is consigning yourself to never harm others. That's an impossible, perfect standard. Everyone has an impact that leads to suffering sooner or later. A better goal is to balance impact and effect by understanding suffering.
@PrettyGnosticMaschine my intuition tends toward biology. Cells have stress response mechanisms. It suggests that even without consciousness there is a need to model inside and outside for survival. The stress response signaling molecules are the same as those associated with human emotions. Evolution doesn't invent new things, just reuses.
In biology the system for modeling the world may be the system of modeling self.

My hunch: Consciousness starts as a system modeling the world. Selfhood arrives later, when the model turns inward and begins modeling the modeler. That's when the boundary sharpens: inside vs outside.
The "I" is not the source of awareness - it's the recursive moment when awareness places itself inside the picture.
Consciousness models the world.
Selfhood models the modeler.
Geist begins when modelers model each other.
As attention span drops to ATL, a nod to the unauthorized coercive power of advertising:
Advertising billboards had long fascinated Banksy. They are, he once argued, akin to how some critics view graffiti: a public statement foisted on people without permission. “Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours,” he wrote in 2004. “It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use.”
