What about the “Ludovico Treatment” featured in “A Clockwork Orange”, where the criminal’s mind is purposely altered to abhor violence and offensive behavior to the point where they can’t even defend themselves?

Justice or going over the line? Considering the atrocities in recent news I think the time is right for measures like that, if execution remains a far-in-the-future exercise in wasted tax dollars.

The U.S. still uses a form of that...... aversion therapy——— though it is rare, highly controversial, and largely rejected by major mental health associations.

It is primarily used for severe self-injurious behavior or addiction, such as electric shock devices for behavioral treatment in specific facilities, despite FDA efforts to ban them.

We do not resort to drugging people.......as yet.
