Not sure how you use a slippery slope argument here without being a complete troll.
The alternative for patients with severe dementia is to be locked up - they have lost the ability to reason with the world.
Earlier in life, we do this with children: it's called preschool or daycare.
They're a danger to themselves and perhaps others if allowed to roam free.
- taneq 10y ago> severe dementia There's the slippery slope. Severe dementia -> some dementia -> wrongthink -> dissidents. Not saying I agree with it, as such, but that's the chain.
