I don’t advocate for nonconsensual mind changes (edited the post to make it clear).
Can we possibly agree that mind control is not OK?
Imagine that your friend has a severe depression (e.g. caused by their gut microbiome), to the point of attempting suicide.
You have a medication that fixes their gut microbiome, curing their depression, with no side effects.
In such a situation, is it OK to ask your friend to take the medication? (with a proper medical consent etc).
If your friend takes the medication and thanks to it doesn’t have suicidal thoughts anymore, is it right to call the whole situation a “mind control by Jbash”?
Can’t a person even die without being harassed by busybodies?
Paramedics don’t abandon a patient because the patient committed suicide. They’re trying to save his/her life regardless. And they’re doing the right thing.
