 Because of a discussion elsewhere, I'd like to know....

If you were (sorry) raped and beaten such that you spent several days in hospital, much of it under morphine, and with no one to speak for your wishes, would you assume [give all that apply]

1. that of course they gave you emergency contraceptive immediately

2. that of course they did not

3. that when you revived they would ask you if you wanted some thing against pregnancy

4. that they would not give contraceptive and  never bring up the subject unless you inquired

5. that if they did not give contraceptive and you got pregnant they would offer to 'terminate' the pregnancy

What else?


If anyone feels like signal-boosting on this poll I'd appreciate it. Hope I've got this set for anon ok and no screening.

Wow, what a question! I would hope that they had given me emergency contraceptive, but I suspect that this would be governed by consultations with next-of-kin and such if I was completely out of it. I really don't know though. It'd be good to ask a medical ethicist about this.

By the way, thanks for your comment on my journal, it was a helpful one. I've never seen you before, though -- how did you stumble across me? And do you really live in Tehran, or is that just for spam-bot foiling purposes?
