It was like in Earth's history, when people had viewed lobotomizing as a legitimate way to cure people. Even if it succeed, and that was rare enough, it turned people into little more than drooling husks. It didn't sit well with him, but he couldn't offer Anders much besides an ear to growl in and as much understanding as he was capable of.
