Torture is non consensual. What about Christians who refuse medical treatment because its against their beliefs should the state force them to get treated? I support protections for children but surely adults have the freedom to make bad decisions?

thank you :flower: sometimes to expose the horror of something, one has to take it to a ridiculous satirical extreme (like Swift's "a modest proposal" or Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove, or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.")

Teenagers are often forced into conversion therapy against their will.

I suppose we could allow consensual conversion therapy for adults ... but why bother? It doesn't work anyway.

Homeopathy does not work either should we ban that too?

They are adults they should be free to make bad decisions. If people can die because they have the power of prayer over medicine then why can they not put themselves through conversion therapy.
