Medical law is based on the idea that a patient consents to an intervention that will benefit them. Is that the case here?

    “We’ll let you go if you chemically castrate yourself” is just a round about way of saying “We’ll detain you if you don’t”

    It’s still a threat of force in an attempt to coerce someone into a medical treatment that they don’t want

      You’d still be let out after your normal sentence, nobody that sets the laws is advocating keeping them there forever.

      To be clear, I disagree with it, it seems crazy to me.

      I’m just pointing out that this reporting is saying something very different to all other reporting I’ve seen on this topic. I’ve not seen anywhere else report it as being forced.
