And with only a little revision of the word "voluntary" perhaps the entire population could be made more docile and easily cont.. managed.Now we just have to find a way for them to all accept, enjoy, and even endorse this dumbing down process .. a little brain cell killing fat and sugar. A little industrial waste byproduct in the toothpaste. A constant stream of mindless dribel. Not propaganda just a nice pleasant.. placation. Some medium that can make them sit through being sold on these things while still feeling entertained enough to sit through it.....Let's call it television! :D   See 3 other replies

I think I fall somewhere in between. IF this sort of 'treatment' were medically and technologically possible, I'd be in support of a program in which people in prison, for instance, could agree to the procedure in exchange for payments to their families (or the families of whomever they harmed). It would have to be a volunteer type deal, of course, with the understanding that if they were proven wrongly incarcerated later, they would receive cells back.That might actually be a good solution for many of the prison problems we have, as harsh as that might sound. Prisoners who'd been 'harvested' for those cells would be docile while not requiring excessive degrees of supervision. They would be less of a threat to guards and other prison staff, and would require less supervision because (it seems) the energy to commit violence upon others in prison would be lessened.There would need to be a separate wing for the prisoners who volunteered, simply to protect them from those who didn't volunteer, but it seems like it would be a workable possibility, as long as participation really was voluntary.The victims of the doctor didn't seem lobotomised, after all. They were simply... simple. And as long as it could be reversed in the event of an eventual overturning of the ruling that put the volunteers in prison in the first place, it would possibly be a good thing.Assuming, of course, that the process were real and could actually work in the non-TV world, which... yeah, not likely. LOLJust my opinion. Make of it what you will.   See 3 other replies

I find it interesting that someone felt the need to defend the Doctor's position. This does show that how bend, Health Care Reform could get. So, you are saying that because a person are homeless that they are "not using their brains"? That lobomizing someone "hurts no one"? If it could be taken from fresh corpses or truely brain dead people like the "Evil Doctor" ended becoming, then I agree that would be good. Otherwise, you're right - you are a horrible person. Would you volunteer for this process? Would you give you brain to help someone else? Of what greater use to society is your girlfriend than a homeless person (or any one else for that matter)? Perhaps horrible people would be the best candidates to have their brains sucked - they are not doing anything good with their brains :).   See 3 other replies
