...who says it more morally right to lock someone up in an institution for life, give them all the comforts of home but deprive them of any chance to ever see the outside world again?
What if they try multiple times, as some prisoners do, to take their own life? Do we let them or enforce our "moral" stance that they must live in a cage forever?
Its a very difficult argument this whole thing.
