For the People That Know, Does This Still Happen? Posted: 09-21-07 18:28pm

This doesn't happen anymore right?
Right?
Please tell me that doesn't happen
anymore.
And if this still happens then why, and
how can it be avoided?

Because of the stigma attached to the word
'lobotomy' the people who carry out the
procedures call it 'psychosurgery'.
Since the development of anti-psychotic
and anti-depressive drugs in the 50's the
pratice of lobotomies has declined and is
heavily regulated. It is legally practised
in some US states, Australia, Sweden, the
Netherlands, Finland, the UK, India, Spain
and Belgium. Russia made lobotomies
illegal in 1950.
That wasn't what you wanted to hear was
it?
Lobotomies are really rare.

When will we learn, death is the better
option to lobotomy, these people are
better off dead. And for god's sake, it
could be relatively painless.
