KENDRA'S LAW by Michele Hull RN (1738 words) Bioethics Professor Lisa Cassidy 5/24/2010 One of the most prevalent problems in treating the mentally ill today is treatment noncompliance and access to care. Kendra’s Law, instituted in New York in 2000, is a utilitarian approach providing a measure of safety and security to society by sacrificing an individual’s rights to refuse care.
