Then why is solitary confinement considered torture?

That's an interesting point for sure. I guess because it happens against ones will, and I think a coma where one is still conscious would be a similar thing.

Probably because it'd be excruciatingly difficult, like I said.

I guess it matters what you think life is for. I don't think I get another go at life on this planet, so I figure I might as well experience as much of it as I can, even if it's extremely limited and painful.
