Who Should Implement Force When It's Needed and How Should It Be Done Compassionately?
1Second-year neonatal-perinatal medicine fellow at Boston Children's Hospital in Massachusetts.
Abstract:
This case questions the comparative moral permissibility of 2 different uses of force-actions done against a patient's will-in the course of that patient's care: covert medication administration and use of physical or chemical restraint. The commentary considers what constitutes the most compassionate use of force for this patient and how it should be implemented.
