- W4249071770 abstract "While psychosurgery is uncommon when compared to other surgical interventions, it has a checkered history which might explain the ethical and legacy complexity that surrounds it today. After Egas Moniz was awarded the Nobel prize in 1949 for his prefrontal leucotomy technique, the operation became prevalent and occurred in many countries, reaching its zenith with the popularization of transorbital frontal lobotomy by Walter Freeman and James Watts in the United States. Given the potential of psychosurgery to cause harm, it seems reasonable to insist that it should only occur when patients have given fully informed consent. While consent seems like an important ethical consideration, it might not be sufficient for psychosurgery being ethical. Mill's harm principle says that we should not consider an agent's own good to be sufficient warrant for overriding their choices. However, Mill thinks that there are some exceptions, such as a decision to sell oneself into slavery. If freedom is important for individuality and experiments in living, then radical psychosurgery and slavery are not legitimate ways of expressing autonomy when they make it much more difficult for agents to discover and realize their potential. Another ethical issue is that psychosurgery has historically served “dual purposes” in that has been exploited to serve social as well as therapeutic ends. Lobotomy and leucotomy became popular partly because they were seen as a very cost‐effective way to decrease the burgeoning number of patients in psychiatric institutions." @default.
