are lobotomies really that bad?

>> No.11783046

Idk, I had one and I received a double PhD in computational field theory and astrodynamics and am involved in research with CERN at MIT, my gpa was only a 3.97 tho not sure if it’s the lobotomy or if I’m just a brainlet

Yes. The very evil American political family the Kennedys had it done to one of their daughters, who was just a little too spergy and hyper for their liking. A really poorly done, botched one too, even as lobotomies go. Then they put her in a filing cabinet in the midwest where she "lived" the remainder of her "life". They didn't visit. Musn't acknowledge the potato, you know, bad optics.

Fortunately, there is balance in the universe, and karma is real. The Curse keeps them very firmly in check, and they're all burning in hell at the moment.

no they were miss used back in the day. They still do lobotomies now but they are called something different. people say lobotomy bad because they were misused and they are uneducated.

Used to separate the right and left hemispheres for epileptics to prevent a cascade reaction where neural stimulation bounces back and forth in the brain, otherwise known as an epileptic fit.

If done properly they can be helpful. They were not done properly most of the time.

yes it is used in extreme cases of depression. people are really retarded about psychological things. they think because something was misused it must mean bad.

The movie 'Sucker Punch' made the lobotomy look pretty sexy. I'm thinking about getting one for the gf for her birthday.

They only do them chemically or with electricity, which seems less brutal. The effects are almost identical.
