About

Electroshock causes more harm than good. It is forced on many people worldwide. It is given to young children and the elderly (esp. elderly women).

Electroshock machines have never been tested or approved by the F.D.A.

The most common public reaction is " does that still go on in our hospitals?"

Positions
