Rosemary Kennedy
Rosemary Kennedy (1918–2005) was the eldest sister of President John F. Kennedy, who underwent a lobotomy at the age of 23 due to her mental health issues. The poorly executed procedure left her with severe cognitive impairments, and she spent the remainder of her life in institutions. Her case has become emblematic of the tragic consequences of lobotomy and has raised discussions about the treatment of individuals with mental disabilities.
