Article 6 of The 1975 Tokyo Declaration of the World Medical Association: "Where a prisoner refuses nourishment and is considered by the physician as capable of forming an unimpaired and rational judgment concerning the consequences of such a voluntary refusal of nourishment, he or she shall not be fed artificially."

If you want to come down on allowing people to kill themselves while in your custody you are welcome to do so.

Me, I say "nuts" to such regulations.

And I would tell any Doctor who abides by the above that the they are in violation of their oath.
