example of "government dispensing medical treatment which affects them without their consent".

Don't like it, don't drink it. Get a filter, or some bottled water.

Your smug remark does not take into account the people who cannot afford filters. Fact is, the fluoridation of the waster is being done as an intentional health treatment and being done to the “public” water supply to allegedly improve health when there is no imminent health threat to the community. In such cases the people affected, in our system of government, ought to at least give their consent See: Court rules Manchester fluoridation is illegal in which attorney Jed Callen stated "I think they recognize that fluoride is a serious and controversial matter and people have a right to determine if they want to be dosed with a drug or not."

In addition, I strongly recommend you reading: U.S. Senate Hears Protective Measures for Fluoride are Insufficient

“As final comment, Dr. Hirzy reiterated evidence of increased levels of lead found in children's blood when the untested hazardous wastes from the phosphate fertilizer industry that are used in 90% of the fluoridation programs are present in public water systems. Hirzy further cited the existence of numerous studies linking fluoride to neurological impairment, and the findings of three separate courts, never overturned on the merits of the case, that concluded after weeks of testimony from expert witnesses that fluoride at the level found in fluoridated water did indeed cause adverse health effects including cancer; yet no substantive hearing by Congress has been held for 23 years.”

Something shady is taking place!

In Terri’s case the State Legislature and Governor Bush has properly intervened with Terri’s Law in view of the fact she left no written instruction and in such cases the state is to err on the side of life. Felos, Michael Schiavo’s lawyer, has argued Terri’s Law violates Terri’s right to refuse medical treatment, but the fact is, she has neither asked for the treatment [feeding] nor rejected it, and so, Terri’s Law is in harmony with the principle that the State ought to err on the side of life. But in the case of fluoridation of the public water supply, without the people’s consent, the Felos brief makes the case that the Pinellas County Commission has violated the people right to be free of unwanted medical treatment, rather than Terri’s Law violates Terri’s rights.
