Am I understanding correctly that your position is that because I don't know the intimate details of his world, I can't know conclusively that his situation is dangerous and that while you don't either, you know conclusively that he isn't? And people wonder why I prefer spirits to people.
Yes, different worlds have different physics. If you want to tell me that in your world when you drink a dragon's blood, nothing else happens, I believe you. Apparently there are worlds where the spirits of the dead hang about after death instead passing on to the Maker's side. There is a difference between that sort of shift in action-reaction and the physicality of a plane.
In the world where the man turned himself into a monster, do they need to eat? Do they need to shit? When it rains, do they get wet? In a non-physical realm, the beings there still need to feed but they don't eat the way we do. The world does not function the way ours does and they do not have the same understanding of physical existence. However likable they may be, they are not like us and we shouldn't rely on the idea that they share our priorities or reasoning or reactions to physical stimuli.
So yes, in my world we call people abominations when they cede control of their body to a non-physical entity.
[Dorian will not be at all surprised if Watson's response is significantly shorter and/or mostly swear words. He has switched to being sincerely worried for Watson's welfare from a professional standpoint by now.]
