I'm sorry, I thought I was clear in my earlier posts. The right to life trumps the liberty interest.

You're quite clear now. You believe that the liberty of being secure in your person is an "interest", not a right. You would force someone to be a kidney donor, to save another person's life.

You're the jockitch of this forum. You keep coming back... yada bla bla... Let's skip the insults shall we? You're not at an advantage there.

"The right to life trumps the liberty interest."

The right to life never trumps the right to liberty. They are equally important. Anyone who can sympathize with Patrick Henry can see that.

The rights of the independent trump the rights of the dependent, when the two come into conflict. Any conservative knows that, because conservatives know that the dependent are not as innocent as the independent.

A mentally ill patient can be deprived of liberty, if he cannot survive without being dependent on the state. His dependence creates an inferiority in his rights.

The mother of a zygote-person is independent and has an inviolable constitutional right to be secure in her person. The zygote-person has an inviolable right to life - if it can sustain it independently of the mother's person. The mother has a right to remove it, but not to kill it. If removing it kills it, that's not the mother's fault.
