The paper addresses some of the ethical and legal issues involving the rights of psychiatric patients to refuse treatment. Particular attention is focused on two recently decided cases--Rogers v. Okins, and Rennie v. Klein--that deal with the rights of involuntarily committed patients to refuse psychotropic medications. Both cases approach this issue in different ways, but inevitably point to some very complicated philosophical concepts such as the meaning of self-determination, autonomy and identity of personhood, especially as these concepts are applied to mentally ill patients.
本文探讨了一些涉及精神病患者拒绝治疗权利的伦理和法律问题。特别关注了最近判决的两个案例——罗杰斯诉奥金斯案和伦尼诉克莱因案，这两个案例涉及非自愿住院患者拒绝服用精神药物的权利。两个案例处理这一问题的方式不同，但不可避免地指向了一些非常复杂的哲学概念，如自我决定的意义、自主性和人格认同，尤其是当这些概念应用于精神病患者时。
