The prefrontal lobotomy was based on observations of one chimpanzee, whose behavior changed after receiving bilateral lesions to her prefrontal lobe. Largely on this evidence, doctors performed prefrontal lobotomies on human patients who suffered from psychiatric disorders to calm them down. Please answer the following two questions:
1) What was wrong with the progression of prefrontal lobotomies from a primate to widespread use in humans?
2) What scientific questions should have been asked before the technique was used on people?
Note: Unquestionably some doctors used this procedure out of care and compassion for their patients, but that is not the point of this RT. Your answer should focus on the scientific/biological factors.

Epictetus offered great advise on various matters. One of them was how you should not waste time worrying about things that are out of your hands. But on the concept of death, I don't think it can be that easy to detach and not be affected by it. He says "If you kiss your child or your wife, say that you only kiss things which are human, and thus you will not be disturbed if either of them dies." Death is a natural part of life out of our control and can happen at any moment. I think Epictetus had an optimistic view on how to cope with life and not get affected by things that happen naturally like death.
