Should
we perform a lobotomy to criminal’s sentence to death?
.
I verified that lobotomy has been utilizing to pacified schizophrenic patients.
I wonder if we can use the operation in violent criminals instead of putting
them to death or perpetual condemn, this will neutralize those dangerous
criminals, and after a year or so releases to a minimum facilities where the
inmate can be rehabilitated. According with my research the individual lose the
ability of planning any purpose, per example, to commit a crime, the Frontal
lobe dis-function, is an impairment of the frontal lobe that occurs due to
disease and head trauma also a surgically removal of the frontal lobe. The
frontal lobe of the brain, plays a key role in higher mental functions such as
motivation, planning, social behavior, and speech production. A frontal lobe
syndrome can be caused by a range of conditions including head trauma, tumors,
degenerative diseases, neurosurgery and cerebrovascular disease. Frontal lobe
impairment can be detected by recognition of typical clinical signs, use of
simple screening tests, and specialist neurological testing. This procedure
will save money, beside the human aspect.
The
frontal lobe has three main areas, known as the pre-central cortex, prefrontal
cortex and the orbitofrontal cortex. These three areas are represented in both
the left and the right cerebral hemispheres. The pre-central cortex or primary
motor cortex is concerning with the planning, initiation and control of
physical movement. The dorsolateral part of the frontal lobe is concerned with
planning, strategy formation, and other executive functions. The prefrontal
cortex in the left hemisphere is associated with the prefrontal cortex in the
right hemisphere is involved in spatial memory. The left frontal operculum
region of the prefrontal cortex, or Broca's area, is responsible for expressive
language. The orbitofrontal cortex is concerned with response inhibition,
impulse control, and social behavior
Planning
(also called forethought) is the process of thinking about and organizing the
activities needed to achieve a desired goal. Planning involves the creation and
maintenance of a plan. As such, planning is a fundamental property of
intelligent behavior. This thought process is essential to the creation and
refinement of a plan, or integration of it with other plans; that it combines
with the preparation of scenarios of how to react to them.
A
particular area, within the mid-dorsolateral frontal cortex, located in the
frontal lobe, has been implicated as playing an intrinsic role in both,
cognitive planning, and associated executive traits, such as working memory.
Disruption
of the neural pathways, via various mechanisms such as traumatic brain injury,
or the effects of neurodegenerative diseases between this section of the
frontal cortex and the basal ganglia specifically the striatum
(cortico-striatal pathway), may disrupt the processes required for normal
planning ability. There is a positive relationship between impaired planning
ability and damage to the frontal lobe. I had a book where contain information about
how to practice lobotomy with an ice pick through the eyes socket. This is what
a lobotomy effect will do to neutralize criminal instincts, to commit a serious
crime of any kind.
