Question Health Care

Do you think that if there are two mentally ill adults having sex that it should be allowed to continue?

I used to work in a mental hospital here in Maine and
there was this incident where there was just that, 2
mentally ill adult patients found having sex and we
were told that it couldn't be stopped because they were
adult. He tore her apart because of his size. Was not a
good thing. What is you opinion?

This is nearing on Eugenics. Deciding on who is worthy of having children and who is not. This is what Hitler tried in his Eugenics experiment in trying to make the perfect gene pool. nearing eugenics deciding children hitler eugenics experiment gene pool

    I do not agree that it should be allowed but I do know that in group homes today it is allowed. Depending on the severity of the retardation, does this retarded person have the wits for safe sex and birth control, are they responsible enough to have children, those questions would all have to be evaluated before I would say yes its ok.

    Regarding your first option, my knowledge of genetics can best be described as non-existent but I didn't think it was a given that two mentally ill patients would automatically conceive a mentally ill baby.

    I guess it would depend on the level of mental illness. I mean there is a difference with not being able to cope with the stresses and strains of modern society and being crazy as a loon. If both adults in question were able to make rational decisions then I guess they have a right to have sex as much as anyone else. If they are living in their own little universe they probably should be restrained from such activity.

    I would think that a hospital could certainly have a rule that bars patients from having sex regardless of their health status and that a violation of the rule could resort in being removed. What kind of mental illness do they have, are they capable of making a decision even if they are of lagal age? Many people suffer from mental illnesses and are responsible, producive members of society. If we barred people with bi-polar, depression ot anxiety disorders there wouldn't be much sex going on.

    Neither one of these people had the capability of making
    decisions. They could barely brush their own teeth in the
    morning. They finally closed this Mental Hospital.

    Then definately they should not be having sex, in the hospital or anywhere, it's not consenual if you don't really even know what you are doing.

    this is a hard question to answer because i have a mental illness and people think we are talking mentally retarded people. i just happen to know what that means. and it should not have happened. was she ok
  • raves     [-] by Cathy
    If you know anything about a person with a mental disability,
    then you know just how strong they are in all aspect. His
    manlihood was extremely big and he ripped her insides.
    She might as well have given birth to a 11 lb baby. This
    was way back in the late 70's and all the parts are not
    as clear to my memory but I remember it was bad.

    I don't think it is because they need sex too, but I don't think it should be stopped. If they are BOTH mentally ill, neither one is being taken advantage of. They are adults, but neither have an upper hand on the other.
  • raves +1   [-] by Cathy
    In this particular situation he did have the upper hand.
    He was physically stronger than her and she ended up
    being a mess, but it was some of the other workers
    who wouldn't stop the action from going on. I think they
    thought it was just funny to watch or something.He was
    totally taken advantage and hurt her bad.
  • raves     [-] by Faith - NObama- PUMA
    Ok, if she is not only being taken advantage of, but is also being hurt, then no, it is not ok. And the people that thought it was funny are beyond sadistic.
