Yes, you are right. But he is being hospitalized, as a result of his decision to not be medicated, right?
I don't know all the details about this trial, and don't have my mind made up completely about this issue. But a big part of me says that it is wrong to force someone into a treatment that they do not want (this does not mean to let him roam free if he chooses to go unmedicated, mind you).
