No doubt pain can be turned into a calculable commodity and therefore be made useful for science under capitalism. Another question might be is: is science able to recognise any point at which pain is pathological - or, when pain is 'normal'? Does subjective pain sometimes serve a useful function in terms of an individual's health as a capacity of an individual to react constructively to threats to integrity?
