[title] Wrecked My Brains
[desc] Yesterday, the 21-year-old @@RANDOMNAME_1@@ arose in a mental hospital in @@NAME@@, with @@HIS@@ schizophrenia ostensibly cured by a lobotomy. Yet, it turned out that @@HE@@ instead became unable to walk, lost @@HIS@@ intelligence to the point of having to drop out of @@HIS@@ university studies, and perhaps most significantly asserted @@HIM@@self to be the last remaining @@ANIMAL@@. Now, the medical and lay communities are up in arms over the controversial procedure.

[option] A tall man walks into your office, his bag filled with legal documents, and speaks to you in a cold voice. "As the legal representative of @@RANDOMLASTNAME_1@@, I believe that avoiding personality loss and mental incapacity from lobotomisation – a malum in se and personal tragedy – is non-negotiable. This necessitates both retroactive heritable compensation therefor, where possible paid by those entities responsible for the relevant lobotomy, and full prohibition of the procedure. Countless other nations have held themselves accountable for medical practice under their jurisdiction by prohibiting lobotomies."

[option] "What happened to @@RANDOMLASTNAME_1@@ was tragic but a fringe case," argues the surgeon who administered the lobotomy, speaking increasingly quickly. "Mishaps occur, but @@RANDOMLASTNAME@@ Hospital has thoroughly vetted all our surgical techniques while complying with any state regulations. This week, just two patients had scalpels left in their bodies! Having schizophrenia is absolutely a 'personal tragedy', as said by this pencil-pushing layman. I see no issue when lobotomisation is consensual and usually helps cure illnesses. Can the state leave it to us what medical procedures we administer? Now, I have a surge– I just dropped my scalpel!"

[option] Meanwhile, Mildgreen Ratched of the @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ intelligence agency whispers into your ear, wearing an owl mask. "You know this is a great opportunity to purge the opposition to our government, or even the more rebellious or...epileptic members thereof. Our department can...ensure they get admitted to a hospital and get lobotomised therein." @@HE@@ steps back and quietly adds, "Soon, I– you will be able to freely rule all of @@NAME@@."
