> Counter-productive is an empirical question, but why is forcing treatment always unethical? Ask most people who were diagnosed as mentally ill by east-german authorities before 1990. Trust me, however nice they are today, you don't want an authority, a committee, or even "community standards" enforce any medical treatment on someone. > ...for example. Do we need to wait for manslaughter charges before the government is responsible? You need offenses to put charges forward. That's how justice works. You just don't jail people for things you suspect they will do.
