This got a bit lost in street budgies nhs thread so i thought id open a new can of worms. I worked on the intensive care ward at broadmoor hospital as a health care assistant. Yep its a hospital funded by your nhs. The service users as they are known are among the most violent and dangerous murderers, rapists, arsonist and child molesters in the country.Those diagnosed with a mental illness such as schitzophrenia are sectioned under the mental health act and can be treated in a secure unit indeffinately. those diagnosed with a personality dissorder such as psycopaths cannot be treated with drugs and are not sectioned so they can only be locked up for the time they are sentenced too.So the question is should we continue to keep them in relative comfort or reintroduce some kind of death penalty for the "incureable"?
