You are a psychiatrist and your patient has just confided to you that he intends to kill a woman. You're inclined to dismiss the threat as idle, but you aren't sure. Should you report the threat to the police and the woman or should you remain silent as the principle of confidentiality between psychiatrist and patient demands? Should there be a law that compels you to report such threats?

I would definitely want to report this, and I think I would. Also, I do think there should be a law that over-rides the confidentiality principle in cases such as this where someone's life may be at stake.
