Legal and medical experts suggest this failure in sedation is actionable, particularly as the patient lacks genetic markers (like red hair) that typically require higher anesthesia doses. The recovery process is expected to take several months, with ongoing physical and vocal side effects.

In a societal context, this allows leaders to strip away material and physical well-being from the population without the individuals noticing or objecting, as their focus is entirely on the perceived threat.
