Another level of accountability

Another level of accountability
In talking about the Lindsay Clancy case, the blogger “bad cattitude” today referred to a modern societal tendency to excuse violence if done by someone who is portrayed as a victim of society. However one feels about that, I thought his comment about responsibility for the bad outcomes of psychotropic drugs was relevant to our concerns on accountability:
—————
…the idea of accountability cannot just vanish when the drugs cause something bad to happen… if these drugs can make you into a homicidal psychotic, whoever put you on them becomes your guardian and bears responsibility if you kill. we’ll charge a bartender for over-serving you (but not excuse you as a result). same should apply here. let’s see what the appetite of these psychiatrist quacks is for this level of concussed pharma intervention if they are on the hook for outcomes.
honestly, this is a very serious proposal:
“if these drugs are sufficiently powerful that that can make you commit murder and have that murder not be your fault, then the person who put you on them must take the blame.”
they require an extreme standard of care… if you’re going to prescribe murder pills, you’re up for at least negligent homicide. if this outcome was not disclosed by the manufacturer, then they bear responsibility as well. it’s on them to test that…
