The modern penchant for transforming human problems into "diseases" and judicial sanctions into "treatments," replacing the rule of law with the rule of medical discretion, leads to a type of government social critic Thomas Szasz calls "pharmacracy." He warns that the creeping substitution of democracy for pharmacracy--private personal concerns increasingly perceived as requiring a medical-political response--inexorably erodes personal freedom and dignity.
