Sorry, only just now saw that I was mentioned by name here. I agree that Zoe’s experiences were horrifying and sad, and that it’s worth quite a bit to try to spare others that kind of thing. Not mangling peoples’ souls matters, rather a lot, both intrinsically (because people matter) and instrumentally (because we need integrity if we want to do anything real and sustained).
