Depends on which part they poke/scramble. All of your conscious, rational thought, much of your personality, etc is located on the frontal lobe, so messing with that can have all sorts of problems, including a vegetative state, or the inability to feel.

People who got them historically haven't been very well off.

>>6963127
You seriously think that if someone is brain dead but still alive it's somehow better than actually being dead?

It's more immoral to make someone's standards of living worse than that that he had before, let alone killing every single thought of his and leaving him as a resource cruncher that just takes and takes but never gives. You're wasting resources and making someone's life way more miserable than that of the dead, which is textbook immoral and unethical.

I've read on some Neuroscience (Neuropsych, particularly) journal a study co-relating Sociopathy ('Acquired Psychopathy') with damage to the frontal lobe. It also co-related Psychopathy with missing grey matter in the brain, particularly the frontal lobe (This has been shown half a decade ago).

Scary shit, bro. Psychopathy is like the real bogeyman. I'm always afraid I'll end up marrying one who trick me and will divorce me and take my money.

Pretty much the only one of those not in the frontal lobe is the Id (not that that typology is valid)

The human brain has three layers. The reptilian layer. The emotional layer. And the rational layer. His theories weren't far off for an era with a limited understanding of the human brain.

How ironic then, that the inventor of the lobotomy became the only Portuguese to win a Nobel Science prize.

But how can I be together with a boring pretentious human being who only cares about her looks and fashion. I might as well go to prostitutes if all I want from a relationship is getting to fuck her between the periods of boredom.

Women care about how they look and how they dress. YOU make them that way by grading them.
