I feel like it's a good discussion; to what lengths are we willing to go to keep someone safe? We could put people into boxes, keep them drugged/knocked out and force-fed via tubes. Technically they'd be perfectly safe, so is it acceptable (they kind of mention this in the article as well)? When I was younger my dad told me a story about a kid with a mental disorder who would hit himself repeatedly in the head. They realized he wouldn't hit himself when he was holding a glass of water bc he would spill the water on himself and didn't like that. They kept giving him smaller and smaller glasses of water to hold until they got him to the point where he only had to have a thimble in his pocket(without any water), and that was enough to prevent him from hitting himself. While shocking people with electricity seems like an acceptable solution, when compared to the self harm, I wonder if some of these people could be helped without shocking them or drugging them. I'm also curious to know how strong the shocks are.
