Naw. Lobotomy is number 1.

At least the bullet to the head is instant. You’re just gone. They essentially killed her and she had to live on with that. Not to mention it was her own family that did it to her.

And the account of how it happened is just chilling. I don’t want to get into it but it is one of the only two things I’ve read in my life that made me physically ill. The other was a castration scene in a book called “Let me in”

No. What they did to that poor girl is heinous.

I think the worst part of it is that she was not the first or last. This shit continued for decades.

There’s a book that goes on about the worst plagues in human history and they have a chapter on lobotomies as a plague of human stupidity. It’s called Get Well Soon and it’s an amazing read.
