Lights, Camera, Disaster! (Macdonald Hall Goes to Hollywood) by Cohen Norton
Hunger strikes are not an uncommon phenomenon when people are deprived of their liberty. Hunger strikes take place all over the world, and many have occurred in the past, having been reported since ancient Roman times. They are specifically meant to achieve goals that, in the eyes of the hunger striker, cannot - or can no longer - be achieved otherwise. A hunger strike causes serious physical damage and can ultimately cause the death of the person involved. If the hunger strike is prolonged, the government, as well as prison officials, physicians, and nursing staff, can feel a particular urge - for a variety of reasons - to intervene through the use of force-feeding. When prisoners or detainees are on hunger strike, the dilemma is most intense: on the one hand, the responsibility of the State and caretakers involved in the health of the hunger striker may argue in favor of force-feeding, yet, on the other hand, the individual right to self-determination of the detainee is derived from such fundamental values as autonomy and human dignity. This book is the result of an in-depth study into the human rights aspects of the issue of force-feeding prisoners and detainees on hunger strike. The policies on force-feeding in three jurisdictions - the Netherlands, Germany, and England/Wales - are explored. Although this research mainly focuses on the legal aspects of the question of force-feeding hunger strikers, it also takes into account the medical-ethical aspects of the issue, which form an indispensable - but also complicating - element in the debate on the question of whether the force-feeding of prisoners and detainees on hunger strike can be justified.| SKU | Unavailable |
