Force-feeding is a practice where food or liquid is administered to a person against their will. This method is often used in situations where individuals refuse to eat, such as during hunger strikes or in certain medical conditions. It can involve the use of a tube inserted through the nose or mouth into the stomach, or it may involve physically placing food into the mouth. The practice of force-feeding raises ethical concerns, particularly regarding the rights of individuals and their autonomy. It is often debated in the context of human rights, especially when it involves prisoners or individuals protesting for political reasons, such as those involved in hunger strikes.
