What do you think about banning conversion therapy?

Conversion Therapy is an attempt to make gay people straight. It doesn't work and it is harmful for people who are forced into it. However why can't delusional people pay for a service if they think it helps them?

To answer your question... “However why can't delusional people pay for a service if they think it helps them?”

The service provider still has a duty of care to the end user...

@yeronlyman McDonald's still sells food to people who want to destroy themselves. Should that be illegal too?
wetncthru · F
@Einstok Yep. If not on moral grounds, certainly on grounds of taste - literally.

@Einstok you’re mentioning “illegal” not me

As for McDonald’s they, like
Others, have to report whats in their food... as an example of a duty of care😬

@yeronlyman So would Conversion Therapists have to report their failure rate?
wetncthru · F
@yeronlyman Yumty yum-yum.

@Einstok informed consent includes information on pros and cons (mostly cons in this situation... haha) aides effects and what’s to be expected etc

But as you said if the people are “delusional” then informed consent is questionable 😬

@wetncthru haha... hungry?

@yeronlyman I would rather eat a 9 day old fish stew at a Nigerian roadside stall, prepared, of course, by one with revoltingly dirty fingernails ... just to add to the piquancy.

@wetncthru 😂 love your description
With a side of fries supersized? 🍟
wetncthru · F
@yeronlyman No fries thanks, just a double helping of the scabby dog lovingly sauted in alley cats piss.

Woof woof
wetncthru · F
@yeronlyman In Nigeria, that IS sweet.

@yeronlyman Licensing agencies can and will pull the licenses from practitioners. A licensed professional would not participate in this form of brainwashing.
yeronlyman · 51-55, M
@Trenchycoat of course because licensed clinicians have a duty of care and need a level of efficacy
