I had better begin my commentary on Professor Margolis' paper with a number of disclaimers. I do not have any very extensive knowledge of the polemical literature on psychosurgery, and such philosophical and psychological background as I have does not seem to me to bear very closely on the question. I therefore find myself approaching the topic with no noticeable advantages over any other reasonably reflective layman. No doubt, it is for this reason that I seem to be having some difficulty in understanding what the topic is. That is, it is not clear to me what issues of principle are supposed to be involved in psychosurgical procedures that are not involved in other, less dramatic, medical practices. Since it may be that there are others who share my difficulty, I thought what I might do is simply to enumerate some of the questions that might be candidates for the issue about psychosurgery and suggest why these candidates, at least, strike me as unlikely to get elected.
