I agree that a solution for nonconsensual psychiatry is essential.
I'm wondering what do you mean by "outlaw". Isn't marijuana outlawed right now?

By outlaw nonconsensual psychiatry, that means to have suicide be respected as a civil and human right for adults. Adults can leave psychiatric units whenever they want.

I agree with this idea. I wish it clarified "outlaw" for me.
Perhaps this angle would clarify:
What happens if adults aren't allowed to leave psychiatric units whenever they want?
replied 2720d
That is the status quo. Locked psychiatric wards already exist in most major american cities. probably all. suicide is effectively outlawed. psychiatric confinement is legal.

Yes, what happens currently is the status quo.
I want to know what you envision for outlawed nonconsensual psychiatry.
Legality != morality; are you referring to being practical?

Outlawing nonconsensual psychiatry means that suicide will be respected as a civil and human right for all adults, and the insanity defense will be outlawed.
