forced feeding
Forced feeding refers to the act of making someone eat or drink against their will, typically as a form of punishment, treatment, or to maintain certain societal or personal norms. It involves methods like ingestion through a nasal or oral tube and is often widely critiqued due to its associated health risks, ethical issues, and infringements on personal rights. This practice is commonly noted in instances like hunger strikes, eating disorders, or certain medical conditions that inhibit voluntary food consumption.
