I don't know... There's something odd about admitting document, stating that the parties have signed it willingly, then throw out one party's accountability for it. When did we stop being responsible adults, able to make our own choices and accept consequences that follow from said choices? Not saying this guy was sensible, but 9 years seems harsh if she's actually agreed to it up front, even though she changed her mind later. Seems a bit arbitrary that you can agree to irreversible and unnecessary surgery, but can't agree to something like this. Anyway, I dunno... if she didn't sign it willingly, that's a different matter. (Before anyone comments on that, I wasn't talking about the legality, but the principle of it.) Health, al-Aswad.
