[Legal obligation of the doctor in forced feeding? (author's transl)]

In persons not in public custody, artificial or forced feeding must not be carried out against the will of the patient. In persons in public custody, forced feeding may only be permitted against the will of the prisoner on legal authority. Obligation for forced feeding only arises e.g. in principle with regard to the readiness for trial of prisoners on remand and in special cases also with regard to convicted prisoners. Limits to this obligation arise from the point of view of reasonableness and human dignity.
