I agree, and find the development sinister - i put this in to spark discussion, not as an advocate for the idea. I have worked with torture survivors in a previous job, over a ten year period.like the saying goes, what doesn't destroy us strengthens us.

i think like in so many areas, so much more effort could be put into treating & supporting victims of trauma, and helping them rebuild, recover and survive. and life is not a sanitised event.

i find it interesting to see how people age, dealing with all the things that happen in a life. I respect people who have experienced extremes, pain and grief, and are still contributing to help other people.
