[quote=Metronome]Not everyone inside an asylum is a crazy psycho killer. You can be put in an asylum for being a danger to yourself as well as anyone else.

A suicidal person could be locked up.

An anorexic could be locked up.

Hell, you could accuse your perfectly normal neighbor of 'being a danger to society', and if the courts agree with you, HE could be locked up.[/quote]

Not that I have any objections to either standpoint on this, but it may be good to keep this in mind :)
