Court forces 17 year old to take Chemo treatments against her will

I'm not saying I don't think chemo helps, it does, but it's a balancing act of suffering versus survival rate. 80% is good enough, but what if you are that 20%? Then you not only die, but you die in an incredibly pomegranatety situation where you can't do anything for yourself and your body has wasted away to nothing. Maybe she's willing to accept that, but maybe she isn't. I wouldn't, but I'm an unlucky person anyway, 80% isn't very high when I fail at upgrading items all the time at 99% success!

In maple terms I completely agree haha, 85% chance is more like 5%. But in cancer terms, I think personally 80% is a good enough chance. (hell, personally, If I had cancer I would try even a 15% chance)

There is definitely more at work here than just her worrying about the side effects; she claims that she doesn't want the chemo to make her infertile, which I guess is valid, but it's like "If I can't have children i'd rather not live" which is definitely not a reason to die. She has also apparently claimed that she doesn't want to make her mother angry by accepting chemo.

I think the benefits far outweigh the risks in this case, anyway.
