Of course we do, especially when such an array of doctors and experts have prescribed it. Quote What's our stance if he does this again? The doctors review their decision, learn from it, and move on. I'd still trust their judgement 7 days a week and twice on Sunday , especially compared to anything any hard-boiled right-wing conservative prescribes. Talking about sick puppies...an injection of lead to the head? Why should our stance be any different to anyone who decides not to be healthy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of things wrong with our system even in this one of the top democracies in the world. Very sad. I take it you've never watched a loved one suffer the horror of hearing voices in their head either. You should try it some time. Don't forget to pay special attention to the stigma you also suffer as a result. Really sharpens a person's sense of humanity and especially the lack thereof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of countries that are not democracy's still have it. Personally, I wish that Canada did have the death sentence for people who purposely goes out to kill someone. There is no reason as to why all murders should be exempt from capital punishment. So, if someone decides that they just want to go and kill one of your family members for fun or for some other reason you would be quite happy with them going to jail rather than pay the ultimate price for their crime? Common sense and logic tells me that if one goes out to commit murder than they should pay the price for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNA testing in the US showed that there were numbers of people on death row who were innocent. How many did they kill before DNA testing was available I wonder?

The only thing that matters is that he never gets the chance to do it again. By definitiion, the possibility exists. So he should be kept secure for the rest of his life. It should be in a hospital environment, not a prison environment, but there should be no question of him ever being released. Fortunately its what his doctors and experts on the subject, not to mention the law, says that matters most in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patients belong where their doctors prescribe, not where politicians or the mob they often cater too want. Maybe the doctor should prescribe him to move next to your house.

So, what is your problem? No one needs to be charged and convicted of a crime and sent to jail today if a DNA test is done on them. Times have changed. No need to worry about killers going out and killing someone for fun or for some other reason. You want to take someone else's life, than be prepared to lose your life. Common sense and logic.

We all know that doctors and so-called experts have screwed up on many things in the past also. The law needs an over haul. It's all about public safety not the safety of the convicted. 11 minutes ago, OftenWrong said: Maybe the doctor should prescribe him to move next to your house.

And then of course there is the huge costs incurred by the state by the time the appeals are exhausted. Much more effective use of tax dollars is professional evaluations and review boards.

No it wouldn't. It would just ensure that the criminally insane were kept in a place where they could do no more harm. To speak of public fear in a way such as to imply it is irrational is to pretend ignorance of what Mr. Li did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crime is crime. Chopping someone's head off and trying to eat it is a crime. It's hard to imagine someone sane doing it so it would be someone insane. To state that psychiatry can ensure this person won't succumb to his illness again is to believe in fairy tales and quackery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
