I believe it can be quantified in some way. I live in a country that has no problem with solitary confinement of minors at an early age for decades at a time.

I think that's deplorable and monstrous also. But something about government endorsed (don't tell me the CCP doesn't know about it) organ theft where they kill the donor and keep them alive through controlled brain damage so they can harvest more organs from them. Something about that seems worse to me than solitary confinement, enough that I changed my behavior.

Yes keep it in context, but whataboutism isn't an excuse for objectively dehumanizing behavior from anyone.

(Note: I'm aware of companies and name brands that invest in private prisons, I do my best to avoid those brands, really I try to live my life but do what I can within reason)
