Well, I hope it goes to the Supreme Court and gets reversed. In Washington v. Harper, 494 U.S. 210, 221-22 (1990), this Court recognized that prisoners have “a significant liberty interest in avoiding the unwanted administration of antipsychotic drugs under the Due
Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment,” adding at 229, “[t]he forcible injection of medication into a nonconsenting person’s body represents a substantial interference with that person’s liberty.”
In Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Department of Health, 497 U.S. 261 (1990), this Court stated at 269-70, “The informed consent doctrine has become firmly entrenched in American tort law. The logical corollary of the doctrine of informed consent is that the patient generally possesses the right not to consent, that is, to refuse treatment.”
