Are there laws that you believe legislate what should be a private decision of individuals? In 150 or more words, please describe two of them. An example would be helmet laws.
Yes, the laws of drug use (narcotics), advance directives, accessing media and many other respect the private decision of individuals.
For example, advance directive is a stipulated document of a person’s medical wishes. We can take decisions regarding medical care as long as we are conscious. If we become unconscious for certain reasons, our family members or friends or physicians or administrative policy take decisions on behalf of us. This issue is presented as violating the person’s freedom and legal rulings. Advance directive is a solution for these issues. If one don't want to take more invasive methods of treatment during the end of life, one can state in the advance directive and the medical staff should follow that.
