Of course it is possible to use the term 'force feeding' for artificial feeding of hunger strikers. The only problem is that this term is the same as used for force feeding of geese. To use the same term for very different things can lead to wrong arguments from a superficial similarity as has happened here in this thread.

Force feeding of geese makes them less healthy, 'force feeding' of hunger strikers makes them more healthy. That's why all the comparisons with geese feeding in this thread are wrong. The ethics involved is something else. As I have said following the position of the World Medical Association would be prosecuted as homicide in Germany.
