[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1101147, member: 73592"] I'd have thought the only people who could "force" the issue would be insurance companies considering the player uninsurable. Otherwise, you can heavily recommend, but ultimately informed, consenting adults have the right to make their own choices and take their own risks. If the brain damage exceeds the threshold (wherever that would be) for a power of (medical) attorney to kick in, then that would change things. Denying someone the right to do something harmful to themselves would be a dangerous precedent (though we do have examples from other forms of self-harm, with thresholds, but these are government mandated, and legally fraught) [/QUOTE]
