579 21 Jul 2006 - 2:36    mary corbett : To shock children completely denies the fact that they are sentient beings worthy of respect and gentleness.The worse off they are,the LESS should be done in terms of aggressive "treatment"
578 19 Jul 2006 - 23:31    Sue Clark-Wittenberg : I am an ECT survivor. ECT harmed me and I deem ECT to be torture. I was tortured in Ontario, Canada in 1973 by Dr. Sipos in Brockville, Ontario ECT is a crime against humanity. ECT needs to be exposed in order for it to be banned all over the world.

576 18 Jul 2006 - 2:47    Elizabeth Root : The mental health system is abusing children with labels, drugs. ECT on children is unthinkable!

569 15 Jul 2006 - 2:24    Keith Jordan MSW : Dr. John Friedberg put it best (if understated) with the title of his 1976 book, "Shock Treatment Is Not Good For Your Brain". That especially applies to developing brains.

561 13 Jul 2006 - 10:15    Tony Moon : I support this petition because cruelty amongst our young is preposterous. That is definately unappropriate.
560 13 Jul 2006 - 10:13    Ariel : It does not need reasoning, everything this petition stands for is worth fighting for!

547 12 Jul 2006 - 11:36    G. Elizabeth Evans : I support this petition. ECT is nothing short of sanctioned torture and should be stopped. Further, I'd wager that not one of its practitioners would submit to such MIStreatement themselves.
546 12 Jul 2006 - 10:19    Peggy Wiley : because anyone who would subject a child (or adult) to this barbaric, evil practice, or agree with it, is basically an evil person. Go and ECT yourself!
