At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if we had to start having newborns sign a consent form for living.

Life is suffering, this much is true. To exist is to have pain. Some more acute than others.

To consume art is to consume life. Therefore, one should expect that, at times there will be pain involved.

I'm not sure a warning is needed.

That said, a good professor is worth their weight in gold. Sensitivity.... Pass it on.
