It'll be interesting to see if anything productive comes out of this.
Well it does set a terrible precedent, there can be no denying that. I say that as someone who has already stated that they should meet in this thread! I'm having second thoughts on whether being forced into a meeting in these kinds of situations is a good idea though.

Now she won't eat until next week? So when does she plan on eating again, after the meeting? What if that meeting doesn't produce enough of a solution for her liking though? What if she is sated by this meeting (I doubt it) and others aren't?

At this point, there is just no winning for Harper, unfortunately. If he didn't meet with her and she dies then he has to deal with the obvious issues surrounding that. He meets with her, and faces the spectre of "it worked last time, so lets try again". He meets with her and resolves nothing (a probable outcome, realistically), and then what...she starves for a longer period of time I suppose?
