    In this instance, Carol's right to refuse treatment is being violated. Though the right to refuse treatment is considered one of the most fundamental principles of liberty, it can be denied in instances where the patient is found to be unable to communicate with their doctors in a competent way. Sometimes a court order must be obtained when a doctor wants to override a person's right to refuse treatment.
