  • This house believes that the "Timequake" procedure should be used as a form of rehabilitation for criminals

    Infoslide

    The "Timequake" procedure is a process where a person is sent back into the beginning of their life and are forced to witness their actions leading up to the current point in time.

(I.e. while the procedure is relatively quick, the person experiencing it feels like they've relived decades of their life.)
