I skimmed your article and found it very enlightening...
Ever since I can remember hearing about lobotomy's, it's always been an extremely negative thing, in every single way. Performed by quack doctors that drive around in a van across the US, searching for people unlucky enough to have family around them thinking that this will be a miracle cure... Or being forced upon ' unruly ' patients that people wouldn't want to deal with...
I've thought about it a lot myself, and the only answers I ever came up with were for repeat-criminals that are guilty of the crimes I CONSIDER unforgivable... ( Mostly pedophilia and serial killers )... And the only reason I'd lobotomize them is because I don't think that the death sentence is severe enough and this would be a punishment that would last them a life time... ( And yes, I also realize this would just create a strain on society since they wouldn't be able to take care of themselves, but I'm vindictive and immature, so I'd be up for that )
My question is... Do you think that there would ever be a case where performing a lobotomy on someone is a positive thing to do? ( By positive, I mean for them, not society... )
