@GarrettPetersen Forgot to mention rehabilitation, if the brain has returned to its non-insane state post episode, then there is no rehabilitation to do (minus the harms of realising you've done something bad).
@GarrettPetersen Not deterrence, since it wasnt a reasoned choice, not incapacitation, since the resolved brain isn't dangerous the same way the insane brain was, and not retribution, since there's no reasoning agent to hold to blame. It seems like punishment for its own sake.
@nblxba@SmokinJo21 L must be finite if you want to say harming 1000 children is worse than 1 child. And anything with a non-zero P of harming a child would imply absolute avoidance of that action (which could be basically anything, driving a car, owning a knife, simply having a child)
@kikohunch@harley_quinnX0@Tsplasshy That's not specific to psychosis though, murder suicides generally tend to be planned around the victim(s), with the suicide tending to be more impulsive rather than planned. So this mismatch you're rightly seeing here is actually quite common
@kikohunch@harley_quinnX0@Tsplasshy I'd say the point of her delusion was focused on the kids and not herself. If the experts account is right, she believed her kids should be spared from something worse and she needed to die too. So her death is more of an aftermath of that belief and not an equally planned event
@kikohunch@harley_quinnX0@Tsplasshy I mean she was paralysed from the sternum down, cut on her wrist was 3cm deep, I'm pretty sure she had to be resuscitated in hospital, you're framing as it's unlikely she'd die from that is just wrong. Suicidal people also don't act like you expect here, they don't always go for
@kikohunch@harley_quinnX0@Tsplasshy She slit her wrist and neck before jumping out the window and also taken medication. It does add up if you know the facts here.
@kikohunch@harley_quinnX0@Tsplasshy Her delusion was specifically that her kids were better of dying than being without her. Her husband wasn't part of that delusion which is why she didn't just kill him. This is all from expert testimony.
@kikohunch@harley_quinnX0@Tsplasshy People undergoing psychosis can still act in an organised manner whilst acting on a delusional belief. She probably did check how long he'd take in a 'malicious' way, but I wouldn't say that means it's fishy or points away from psychosis as a cause
