- catalog abstract ""Coercive Care: The Ethics of Choice in Health and Medicine asks probing and challenging questions regarding the use of coercion in health care and the social services. When is coercion legitimate and when is it illegitimate? Should HIV-positive people, with a 'dangerous' lifestyle, be put in custody? Is it morally acceptable to put a pregnant addict in custody in order to secure the health of her unborn child? If a person cannot stop abusing drugs, should she be treated, against her will, for her addiction?"--Jacket. "The present volume argues for respect of the autonomy of the individual and refutes the system of paternalism whereby citizens are coerced into care in order to safeguard the interests of other people. The book combines philosophical analysis with comparative studies of social policy and law in a large number of industrialized countries and proposes an ideal of judicial security on a global scale."--Jacket.".
