Suspect Can be forcibly medicated

In the newspaper this weekend is an article about a woman who is being court ordered to take medication in Salt Lake City, Utah. Without them, she is not competent to stand trial for the 2002 kidnapping of a teenager. She aided her husband, according to charges, Brian David Mitchell in multiple felony charges.

Wanda Barzee, states that taking medication is against her religious convictions.

Let's talk about this? Should she be forced to take meds? When is it right to force anyone who is an adult to take medication and under what circumstances?

I want to hear your views.
