ECT KILLS! ECT also causes severe brain and physical damage. These children and adults are being so brutely harmed yet everyday so many are being subjected to this so called "treatment". It needs to STOP HERE AND NOW!
I support this petition because I support this petition. I would like to know whywould we even think about doing this to childrenor adults. ECT has been done on people withneurological diseases and the results were,hemorrhages, glisosis, neuronal loss,amnesia, andfatalities. The only reason these Dr.'s feelthis works on, what they so call Mental Illnesspatients is because they say they see a change inthe patient, YES I am sure they do they arebecoming BRAIN DEAD!!!!
Cannot believe they are still doing such ridiculous things to people out of a horror movie, to supposedly help people! These people should go to prison for 5 years for every person, for every time they shock somebody.
ECT is a failed technology which only dulls a person's consciousness and has no positive effect. ECT is a tool for creating what the psychiatrists believe are easily-controlled people.
This treatment should not be used on anyone. It has been proven to be useless by the very industry that uses it and still it continues to be practiced. It should be outlawed alltogether.
As a Rock-Star/International Recoding Artist I have worked with a lot of children. I have seen people who have received ECT not pleasnt to see. I hereby support this petition.
It has been proven conclusively that ECT is a failure, the number of great artists who committed suicide after ECT is legion. The doctors who do it are criminals and they know it. The money they get for it is blood money. It's a barbaric practice, a disgrace and a violation of Hippocratic oath because it does harm.
I support this petition! In such an advacnced technological age, how is it we continue to practice such barbarism; and on our most precious commodity, our youth?
because our children are the most precious beings on earth and should be loved and cherished not abused. ECT is one of the most horrific form of abuse I have ever encountered! It is criminal to inflict it on anyone, let alone children! Stop ECT!
It is barbaric to force this treatment upon children. After all it is their parents who make the decision not them. I shudder at the thought of what this must do to their delicate brains.
I support this petition. I would like to know why would we even think about doing this to children or adults. ECT has been done on people with neurological diseases and the results were, hemorrhages, glisosis, neuronal loss,amnesia, and fatalities. The only reason these Dr.'s feel this works on, what they so call Mental Illness patients is because they say they see a change in the patient, YES I am sure they do they are becoming BRAIN DEAD!!!!
Electric shock solves nothing. I hate to say it but: Ask anyone who supports it under what circumstances they would like to have it tried upom themselves.
because it is barbaric to force ECT on anyone, and most people believe that ECT is a thing of the past. They are "shocked" to hear that it is still done at all - more so that it is being inflicted upon our children. We need to let the public know what is going on!
Suppoert is due to knowledge that the human brain keeps growing,even to age 35yrs nd beyond. For blind electroshocked patients of any age losing memory of navigating home and domestic exterior environment could mean life or death posibiities
I support this petition because ECT is a slaughter house practise that needs to be stopped, not practised or researched, it creates irreversable brain damaging effects,if the promotors of this practise had it then they would not be in favour of it, are you next?
I support this petition because medical intervention should be to assist individuals to live lives according to their own personal 'best reality'. medical intervention should not be to turn them into socially acceptable zombies.
Phychiatry does not heal people. Electroshock is just more of the same brutal, insane treatment, but especially so with children. This will only cause harm under the guise of help.
I support this petition because ECT is an invasive procedure which can cause lasting harm, including memory loss and brain damage. There are real alternatives that are not being used.
I support this petition because psychiatry is a fraud and just a form of social control! Don't subject children to the atrocities of psychiatry! Children are precious, unique, free-spirits and psychiatry just wants to make them into conformists! Don't let that happen!
I support this petition because this barbaric action is as inexcusable as the NAZI murder of the Jews in WWII. This is not acceptable to any real caring human being!
Repeatedly slamming electricity through a child's developing brain to cause convulsions that erase precious memories to PERHAPS benefit the child (?) must seem premature, barbaric, and at the very, very least, too questionable to allow for even the most uninformed person. Anyone unwilling to sign this petition is particularly invited to Bastille Days to learn more.
I support this petition because no one, expecially children, should be subjected to shock treatment and so have no opportunity to live as a whole, rational individual from that point on.
Running electricity through the brain?! Can it be any more obvious that psychiatrists are completely clueless? Seriously folks, you can stop complimenting the emperor's finery - he's been running around naked since the day he was born.
