Although there are parallels to animal testing, I think Tormentor is about electro-shock therapy and similar cruel treatments for mental disorders, such as lobotomies. Disturbed thoughts, moodswing smile. These lines suggest a mental disorder. Like Assimilate, those that are identified as being different must be assimilated or destroyed.

Yes, the subjects can be controlled, but have they identity? Have they will? Again, doctors over step their bounds. Considering how many lobotomies and other cruel treatments had been performed on unwilling subjects, it is quite disturbing. Testure suggests there is a link between cruelty to animals and cruelty to human beings. Tormentor is the proof. The opening line appears to refer to vivisection. The rest, the repercussions of electro-shock therapy.
