While I recognize the fact that no civilized society could do it, my gut says that these two should be kept artificially alive for as long as possible and tortured in every way that modern man can think up.

Myself as well. I do not believe that anyone should be actively tortured for any reason. Incarceration for life seems good enough for me.

Though I certainly see where you're coming from... :(

It is clearly what they deserve, but you are right about a civilized society. To lower ourselves to do what they deserve is to become too much like them.

I'll change my mind as I just read the article.

They should get the shit kicked out of them, but not to death. Don't let a doctor tend to their wounds, either. Just let them suffer.

This is just plain sick.

This reminds me of the story of the couple that totured the two boys (the nephews of the woman). The two boys (now adults) were caged as young children (and into their teens) and forced to wear diapers (as they had no access to the toilet). They were facecd with various types of cruel and unusua; punishment. This was outside of Toronto... The couple (man and woman) were sentenced this year, one which critics say was far too lax.

Apparently because this was done without the couple being in their right mind (or some bullshit - one time when the Canadian system is too lax), they got something like three years or something insanely lax... I'm going to try and track down the story. It's just so unbelieveable.

It makes the other one seem more normal. This one made my stomach turn.

It was just on the news last year...

Ok, this is the link I managed to get (after my previous post).

The sources are from CTV, CBC and Canoe.ca.

Boys caged by parents upset over sentence (http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2004/07/05/canada/caged040705) - the alibi given is absolute bullshit.

Boys caged upset by 9-month sentence (http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1089036370244_46/?hub=TopStories)

Boys still show fear of parents (http://www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/TorontoSun/News/2004/05/13/457495.html)

Sentence extended for parents of caged boys (http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1099657911940_44%3Fhub=Canada)

Just because they were possible born with fetal alcohol syndrome and were victims of attention deficit disorder is NO REASON whatsoever to justify such behaviour on the part of the parents.

The original sentence was 9 months, it had then been increased to 4 years for the man and five for the woman... Though still fairly lax.

I'd give them life in prison, solitary, with only a few hours outside of their cells every day - with large blow-up pictures of tortured, starved children covering the walls of the cells.

Well, first of all, lobotomies are not really ever performed. Those would be leucotomies, since the lobe is not actually removed. And severance of the prefrontal lobe does not meant that they can never hurt anyone ever again. It doesn't make them suffer, either. I have no idea why that would be used as a form of punishment. Psychosurgery might be useful to that couple, however, if they are diagnosed with a serious mental illness. They demonstrate symptoms of psychopathy.

You generally don't remove the brain. You either go in through the skull and cut out little cores about a cm in diameter, or hammer through the eye socket and swish it around.

Leucotomy, my bad.

How about we stick in a cryoprobe and freeze out the amygdala then?

I was under the impression that if you sever the prefrontal, it's hard to get an original idea in your head (your personal initiative goes away).

But we could eliminate feelings of aggression by destroying the entire amygdala, couldn't we?

Yeah, what you're thinking of is a leucotomy, but most people call it a lobotomy. It's almost the same thing. And it does make you dull, listless, and incontinent.

Both of these are true. The problem is that it just doesn't seem like a fitting punishment for anything. They do not suffer, or learn from their lessons. They just move down a notch on how well their brain works.

Someone asked me what justice was a few posts back.

Justice is there to prevent the rest of society from being affected by the actions of a minority.

NOT give us our daily fix of violence / cruelty.

Due to the possibility of mistakes being made, this also makes me oppose the death penalty. (And there will never be a 100% correct system, so I shall always opppose it.)

Life without the possibility of parole is an ideal punishment, anyway, so long as they don't have creature comforts.

Think about it. 30-70 years of the same old routine over and over and over... no chance of a change... with the Great Unknown looming closer and closer every day in your mind.

And the galling fact that society didn't stoop to your level. They took the moral high road, and only removed you from society for the protection of others.

Napalm them. Set them on fire. Burn them a little at a time. Legs first, then naughty bits, then chest, then cover them in low quality napalm so they don't burn too well and get a match.
