[QUOTE=Maegord;47570394]She wouldn't have been suffering from postpartum depression for that entire time, but rather a short window of time after each birth. She would've had more than enough time in-between the births to seek help whilst unaffected by it, to let people know this was happening before the same tragedy occurred again, but she didn't.[/QUOTE] Who is going to tell someone they just killed their child on purpose? The fact she did it 5 mores times though clearly shows this isn't just some one-off thing caused by temporary depression or whatever because there's a very long buildup to childbirth with options on how to avoid it for a not insignificant portion of that time.
[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;47574025]Do you know anything about aborts? How about instead of spouting moronic shit you'd research a little, might go a long way :rolleye:[/QUOTE] Don't respond to the gimmick.
There's more going on than just someone who likes to kill their own babies. She needs to be observed, tested, and studied -- not locked up to rot because of knee-jerk reactions. The scientific community can learn from this.
[QUOTE=Makzu;47568851]One question [I]why[/I][/QUOTE] [Quote]Police say Megan Huntsman, a mother of three children who are still living, was addicted to drugs at the times of the other births and couldn't afford to keep the babies and still have her methamphetamine. After she kicked her meth habit, she told the judge in the statement, "I moved on to alcohol." "Depression and alcohol took hold of me the same way drugs did," she said. "I cannot give a reasonable answer why I was capable of such a sick and heinous crime. I held my secret for 18 years."[/Quote] [Quote]Huntsman eventually admitted that she had murdered all but one. Haunted by demons and addictions, she believed she couldn't be a good mother to the children, she wrote in her statement. "In some small way, I wanted to help them avoid the terrible life I would have given them," she said.[/Quote]

But nah fuck her she's a murderer!!!

It's quite likely she isn't a danger to anyone but who she gives birth too, but the idea that she's blameless is ludicrous. No, I'm not saying lock her up in a tiny cell forever. But she had seven chances to prepare before the births.
[QUOTE=wauterboi;47575611]I've always advocated for this but it's considered immoral for some reason.[/QUOTE] That's because "observed, tested, and studied" is vague enough to mean almost anything. How far can you take 'testing' before it's considered torture? Maybe open up her skull permanently so doctors can study brain function during 24 hour a day 'tests'? This is why deals were made after WWII with Nazis and Japanese who possessed documentation on the various experiments they carried out on people. That data was never going to be acquired via legitimate medical experiments, due to legal and ethical issues. This is also why experimenting on prisoners is considered immoral.
