Treatment (medication specifically, but other invasive procedures exist) still leaves the patients worse off than whatever “symptoms” they were experiencing. The only difference is that the modern techniques are superficially more humane than the history of gruesome surgical interventions. Of course, the only opinions and interests that truly matter in these events are the people who are involved with the patient, not the patient. The patients opinions have already been adjudicated defective and are therefore ineligible for serious consideration. In fact had their opinions not been judged defective they might not be subject to permanent mutilation. These patients serve as a warning to anyone who would dare violate an arbitrary definition of social norms.
