x-posted, my journal and multiplicity
I was watching 60 Minutes last night and they were talking (GAH talking, NOT tawking, lol) about people who commit crimes while under the influence of drugs, and use that as a defence. All my flatmates thought this was stupid. The conversation steered to the same situation, but where the defendant was a multiple instead of high on crack or whatever.
Dat said that if it was us, he wouldn't wanna use insanity as a defence. He'd plead guilty, not guilty, whatever, and not bring the multiplicity into it. Because if we couldn't work together to stop one of us committing a crime, then we were all to blame.
What does everyone think? Obviously it's not quite the same in a system with next to no co-consciousness, but yeah...
