- W45656809 abstract "In its June 2003 decision in Sell v. United States, the Supreme Court issued guidelines for forcible administration of medication to restore competence to stand trial. Among those guidelines is a requirement that the proposed treatment be medically appropriate. This requirement forces both testifying and treating physicians to consider some under-appreciated ethical issues: How can it be proper, or medically appropriate, for a physician to treat a patient when success makes the patient eligible for prosecution, a guilty verdict, and punishment? Can any meaningful consideration of what is medically appropriate treatment for a patient ignore the consequences of treatment which, in the case of many incompetent criminal defendants, includes the likelihood that they will regain competence, be prosecuted, and be punished? Where defendants are charged with capital crimes, can it ever be medically appropriate for doctors to administer antipsychotic therapy, knowing that if convicted, their patient would face life in prison at the very least, and could possibly be sentenced to death?This Article explains why medicating incompetent defendants is ethical, despite the practical consequences of such treatment. After reviewing background information, the Article lays out what the author believes is the strongest argument - grounded in medical ethics, as opposed to legal concerns - that one might advance for opposing the treatment of many incompetent defendants. Using a Kantian conceptualization of punishment's justification, the Article shows that the same principles that permit fair, justly administered punishment also provide physicians with an ethical imperative to give defendants competence-restoring medical therapy." @default.
