Could it be considered moral to force something on someone that they didn't want?
Maybe.
I don't think its immoral to disguise a kid's carrots in their pancakes.
But I don't think its moral to rob someone of their money, either.
Guess it all depends on the situation.
It depends on the gravity of the situation. In general the moral thing is to allow individuals as much freedom as possible, but there are exceptions. For example, if someone tries to commit suicide, we put them in a locked down psychiatric facility where they are not free to leave, for a 72 hour observation.Could it be considered moral to force something on someone that they didn't want?
Then they have to be responsible for their choices. If their freewill is overrode, then maybe that person should be financially and physically responsible for them?

Yes, but those folks are held in some facility and their care is managed by another person pretty much physically and financiallyOnly in a case where it prevents harm to another.

so we're speaking to service as either towards self or other as self. i don't know of a murderer that would enjoy being murdered. most don't want to die painfully, or suffering greater than they already are.It is moral to force on a killer "to not kill other beings"
it's called the law of reciprocity, or golden rule.It would depend on the facts of the case and the set of rules that applied to both parties. All cases of forcing someone to do something against their will is not universally prohibited in any rule system that exists or has existed. Wouldn't you agree?
