How do you "recover" from something like this? If I had done something like what she did, and I had full memory of it, I would attempt suicide - not out of some perverse sense of duty, but as a way to escape.
(I believe that the soul dies with the body, and that supernatural events are categorically impossible. So when I say "escape", I mean a completely different thing than a religious person would mean.)
- neurotech1 17y agoI don't believe she would "recover" from this. She will quite likely spend along time in a prison psych ward. John Hinkley, Jr who shot Reagan in 1981 was sent to a psych ward and is still under the care of the psychiatric facility, even though now allowed conditional release.
- colah 17y agoShe won't make a full recovery, but we can still help her. And I think we have a moral obligation to try. It wouldn't surprise me if she _is_ suicidal right now.
