My only concern with this is for those who are mentally ill and could potentially cause harm to others. If someone is just feeling depressed, lonely, sad, is eating too much, whatever. It's thier feelings, their body, their only hurting themselves. If they want to refuse treatment, let them. But you can't just let those people who have mental illness where they may think someone is out to get them, so they kill them first. Those people truely do need help! I think the doctors should have to assess the individual before making the decision to "force" treatment upon them or not. If they don't seem to be a danger to other people, let them do as they please. But if they do, treatment! Just my opinion.....
