    Final Project

    1. Kay Jamison and other physicians with treatable mental illnesses should be
    allowed to practice medicine.

    2. A medical institution can build appropriate protections into its program to ensure
    that doctors with treatable mental illnesses will “do no harm” to patients should they
    suffer episodes while under its employ.

    3. A person with a treatable mental illness should opt not to or be hindered from
    procreation.

    4. Genetic testing should be used to identify and, when possible, “correct” potential
    psychological abnormalities like manic depression, obsessive compulsive disorder,
    and attention deficit disorder

    5. There is a legitimate space in society for those with a treatable mental illness.

    6. How do we as a society discriminate between who is disturbed and who isn’t?

    7. How does the law determine insanity?

    8. Are all acts of violence insane?

    9. Why are humans violent to each other?

    10. Why do individuals murder randomly?

    11. How do personality traits influence relationship choices?

    12. Ethical issues in psychological disorder issues

    13. Do we have a society that fosters insanity?

    14. The insanity plea in the criminal court system
