通过医疗干预进行刑事康复：道德责任和身体完整权
作者：
Thomas Douglas
刑事司法机构有时要求刑事罪犯接受旨在促进康复的医疗干预，关于这一做法的伦理辩论在很大程度上是基于这样一种假设，即只有在刑事罪犯同意的情况下才能对他们进行医疗干预。在这篇文章中，我挑战这个假设，提出犯罪可能会使一个道德责任的某些形式的医疗干预。然后，我考虑是否有可能通过援引身体完整性的权利来令人信服地回应这一挑战。我认为不是这样。
Criminal offenders are sometimes required, by the institutions of criminal justice, to undergo medical interventions intended to promote rehabilitation. Ethical debate regarding this practice has largely proceeded on the assumption that medical interventions may only permissibly be administered to criminal offenders with their consent. In this article I challenge this assumption by suggesting that committing a crime might render one morally liable to certain forms of medical intervention. I then consider whether it is possible to respond persuasively to this challenge by invoking the right to bodily integrity. I argue that it is not.
