No. People are tortured with electric flooring. This is not the same thing as ECT.

I would say yes. Blood is taken from pregnant women, causing them to miscarry. It is known that this will occur when the blood is taken, and it is against the will of the pregnant women.

People are denied their humanity and there is a lot of talk of lack of intelligence that can be triggering in this context.
