✅Gs-4 : Ethics- Values
🅾️What are the ethics of hunger strikes?
⚜️1. Autonomy and Coercion: A significant ethical question is whether it is right to respect the autonomy of individuals on hunger strike or to intervene forcibly to save their lives. This includes the debate on force-feeding, which some view as a violation of personal autonomy.
⚜️2. Protesting against Injustice: Hunger strikes are often the last resort for individuals protesting against severe injustices. They raise ethical concerns about the state's responsibility to address the root causes of such protests rather than suppressing them.
⚜️3. Medical Ethics: The role of medical professionals in force-feeding or withholding treatment is a problem. The Hippocratic Oath to "do no harm" conflicts with respecting the protester's autonomy.
