““They anti-treatment faction will argue -truthfully- that treatments can be painful, or inhumane, and will even suggest that some treatments are a violation of human rights. While there is some basis for this last argument, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities addresses that last point. I am paraphrasing here, but as I understand it, “degrading” medical treatments are not to be given to patients, nor shall patients undergo experimental treatments without consenting, or, if the patients are incapable of consenting, then treatments may not be given without a guardian's consent.   3.””
