I watched a doco about lobotomies on tv a few months ago. Plenty about it on the internet, but too many people just don't care.

So, in 1941, when only sixty-five lobotomies had been performed, Mr. Kennedy gave his permission. The surgery left her incontinent and her brain was reduced to an infantile mentality. She would stare at walls blankly for hours and her verbal skills went to unintelligible babble. Eight years after the lobotomy was performed, she was moved to a home for disabled people. She became detached from the family, due to her mental capacity, but received regular visits from her sister Eunice. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7F32919B-0542-41E9-8801-7CC325E5B428/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
