And there's a film????? Yikes! nice mental image I have now, thank you =D although I know a few people I'd like to try the procedure on, mauahahahahahahahahahahah! /pycho!moment

yup ... there's film ... then there is also a film that was used for "marketing" type purposed, which was sent out to mental institutions to show how wonderful the procedure was. It shows this poor 23 year old guy before the lobotomy, then a few weeks after, then about 6 months after ... it is just so creepy! *shudders*
