The Government doing that was, in my opinion, a crime

Yes,20/20 hindsight certainly suggests that.But for a while during the 50's lobotomies were very strongly accepted by the highest echelons of American medicine...just as leeches (for every known ailment) were highly regarded about 600 years ago.
