Posted by e* on 1/15/2006, 2:33 pm, in reply to "This is sad" I don't like the idea of the State developing on the land much, either. It's a shame that it wasn't salvaged before it became deteriorated and became so dangerous- parts of it would have made a lovely museum, memorial, or even some sort of office space. If only the restoration and operational costs were't so high!

Huge mental hospitals have been made obsolete by advances in modern medicine- why shut up someone who could function in the "real world" unless they are an acute danger to themselves or others? Many people don't like the idea of drugging those with various mental disorders, but, in the extreme cases, it is warranted. I can't really speak to the Andrea Yates matter, but I imagine that it could have been prevented with proper intervention and treatment.
