All natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life and liberty, to pursue happiness, to be rewarded for industry, and to acquire, possess and protect property; except that the ownership, inheritance, disposition and possession of real property by aliens ineligible for citizenship may be regulated or prohibited by law. No person shall be deprived of any right because of race, religion, national origin, or physical disability. Medically speaking, all patients must have a right to accept or reject any invasive diagnostic test that can result in hospitalization or death. Example: prostate biopsies have been shown by Johns Hopkins (among others) to cause a patient to be hospitalized at a rate of 7% while causing death from septic shock rarely albeit even one death would be once too often. With this fact duly noted, any and all patients have a right to deny such procedures while resorting to noninvasive procedures or alternatives, if available. Predictable hospitalizations, often times to the intensive care unit and death are a public health risk of grave concern so therefore must be clearly stated and accepted in a totally inclusive consent signed by the patient.
