Find answers to your legal question.





Would it be against the law if I surgically removed my husbands vocal cords against his will?

I'm not saying I'm going to do this I'm just wondering if there's any law against it.
And are there any links that gives advice on how to perform such a procedure?

Duct tape wouldn't work,he'd just take it off and resume talking again loud enough for the whole world to hear.

that is so funny u must really hate how u r husband talks lol

Hey, even if you did it, he'd still be able to talk by using an electrolarynx, and you'd go to prison for a VERY long time.
A total laryngectomy is at least a 5-hour operation and is performed by ENTs in their 5th (and last year) of residency, as well as attending surgeons. It is very risky because there are so many blood vessels in the neck.
You'd probably get arrested for murder.

Why quiet him down with surgery, just tell your husband to shut the hell up.

I can see why you would, but it is illegal as well as unethical. Reminds me of Hannibal.

It would certainly be against the law.

If I were the presiding judge, I'd be willing to hear your argument that it was "justifiable mayhem", or whatever the crime is.

Guess I'd have trouble hearing your husband's argument, but I suppose he could hire a mouthpiece (lol)

Yes! you'd be practicing medicine without a licence.
That's against the law. Unless you're a doctor, and can prove that there was something wrong with them.


Yummy Cookies!
Yes.

You might just want to ignore him when he's talking to you as loudly as he can. When he asks why you're ignoring him, just tell him you'll answer when he uses a normal tone and volume in his voice.

Yes, it might just piss him off in the beginning, but if you stick to your guns, it should end up working in the long run.

Good luck.

do you have a medical license? if not, it's against the law for you to do it yourself


Scott S
Yes, of course. It would be assault or worse. You'd do a long stint in jail.

Why don't you do him a favor and just leave him. He would be better off without you. Let him find someone who actually cares for him.

Anything that involves cutting the skin and tissue would be a problem. Against his will!!! EEEK!


frijolero
As long as you are a licensed doctor and have power of attorney, go for it. Better move to Brazil before he wakes up or he might remove something of yours. Get concealing!!

Well, its still legal to shoot a scotsman with a bow and arrow. In america.

Lol

Leave.
He wont change.


just me
ummm. yea! you take his right from able to speak ever again.


STEVEN F
I am quite sure it would qualify as assault. There are probably other laws that apply as well, but that would stick long enough to find a more precise charge.

act like he isn't there "even when he is over his tantrum". hum and sing when he is talking to you. when he cant stand it any longer he'll want to know why you are doing it. tell him its to block the sound of his voice and you will stop humming and singing when he starts talking like an adult and not like a raving lunatic


Samantha
I don't think its illegal or it shouldn't be. If you go to jail Id picket for you.


♥ hello_kitty_xoxo ♥
Umm yes cause first your not a surgeon .
