Really, Jeff? My guess is you are trying to pull my leg. Psychs say
that those people are crazy. Those people are likely under
Guardianship. If they say they don't want the operation, the psychs
will say that they can't make that decision for themselves.

Lets say your wife (or somebody else) wants to get rid of you. First
that person will work with psychs to declare you mentally sick, and
then they take away your ability to speak for yourself, put you under
guardianship, force you to take drugs and being e-shocked, and if you
survived that, they cut your brains out.
