I care about my students and clients. It still does not give me the right to do anything other than give them the best advice I have and then to let them choose what to do with that information. Caring does not trump the autonomy of another. I don't really think caring matters one way or the other at all. Whether it is me that is doing the caring or someone else. Certainly not doctors or therapists. Massive harm and suffering have been perpetrated upon other people in the name of caring or for their own good. This is very important to me and my rant.
