How can it be proved that insanity is real? In a world were everyone's opinion is supposed to be reconized, how is it possible to say," S/He is insane." Mental diseases can not be proven to be a disease. Perhaps illrational fears are really rational, no one can prove that a fear of arachnids or numbers shouldn't be had. I believe that insanity is only used as a way to discriminate against people different than the average mass. If a man goes "insane" and kills twenty people, how do we know that his murdering was illrational? Faith? Who among us can prove through indenyable evidence that a murder was completely illrational. All animals, including humans, have an instict that tells us to live at all costs, just like an instinct to eat, sleep and drink. Someone is not "insane" for listening to those insticts, and if someone feels threatened why should the populace be able to deem a man or woman insane? Now I am not saying it is moral to kill, in any light, but I am saying insanity cannot logically be blamed. In light of this, temperary insanity should not be a liable defense to any crime. Hey, if a man or woman was insane to murder and you give him or her the death penalty, aren't you insane by your own standards? Think about it...
