Hmmm... Petulance.... I like your word choice. I underwent electroshock therapy 6 years ago. Yes, it involved the Mormon church. I can't prove the church's direct involvement or I would have by now believe me. 12 treatments. One a week for 3 months. I am 31 years old and my memory is fried. The only reason I am here is to try and gain as much information as I can so I can be prepared to prote

Lot's Wife, As I clearly stated I am more than happy to provide that. Just to make sure everyone is on the same page my post read that I had done quite a bit of research and there is information available indicating it does still take place and there is information to the contrary. At no point did I make an assertion. I posted a question... asking for information. If I wanted scrutiny I woul

Amyjo, My heart breaks for your niece and for you and your family. I agree that the fight is still ongoing. I for one will not give up until our children can be their true selves.

She drove across the country and took her life

To be blunt buy it, don't buy it, sell it, steal it, trade it, throw it on the floor and set it on fire; none of it negates the fact that BYU and the majority of LDS advocate the cruel treatment of anyone deem

I am not entirely sure how much liability would be on the university

I have done q bit of research and have information that it does still happen but there is also information to the contrary. From what I understand inducing vomiting was also used and may still be used. These 'treatments' take place in the basement of the psychology building. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/mormon-gay-cures-reparative-therapies-shock-today/story?id=13240700&singlePage=true

I'm sorry I wasn't clear but the patents are for the devices used to administer the electrical shock and monitor blood flow.

I was wondering if anyone had information on the 'gay conversion' therapy that goes on at BYU. From what I understand it is 'voluntary'(meaning you go through the therapy or are forcibly outed to your family and bishop). If I am not mistaken, there are patents (available online with a quick google search) through BYU's psychology department. The process of 'gay conversion' aka torture, involves h
