Where does a mother's right to decide her own medical treatment end 
and where the priority of protecting a fetus begin and are there 
implications for court-ordered psychiatric interventions?

Dr. Michael Grodin, a physician and professor of health law, 
bioethics and human rights at Boston University, said doctors should 
never resort to court orders.

"People have the absolute right to refuse treatment ...," Grodin 
said. "It's unconscionable. ... It's an affront to women."
