Default Saving van Gogh
For those who didn't know, the well-known artist van Gogh is known to be insane. If you had the choice, with the treatment pills and methods we have now, would you want to cure him, knowing that all that quality art would most likely leave us?

Is it necessary to be insane to create great art?

No, but, in my belief, his insanity must have had a part in the such peculiar paintings he drew. One may assume that, if he is cured, that sort of sense of creativity will diminish.

I agree, Skills. That's a very interesting concept....

Nothing, really. We can never know that if he was cured, would he would continue painting the way he did. I'm just asking hypothetically, would you if you knew he wouldn't paint anymore?

No. Then again, I'm against medication for mental problems in general.

I would want to cure him if he wanted to be cured. It's not like I'd want to keep him psychologically suffering just so I can have my nice Wheatfield painting on the wall.

Do you really think he has the liberty to make that kind of decision? Even though it is his life, his mind is still in wonderland. I mean, that's just like giving a wife who has Down syndrome the right to decide whether her husband can go through surgery when he is sick.

I don't know what kind of disorder he had. If he is perfectly happy in wonderland, let him be in wonderland.
