"Psychosurgery...The first significant foray into psychosurgery in the twentieth century was conducted by the Portuguese neurologist Egas Moniz who during the mid-1930s developed the operation known as leucotomy. The practice was enthusiastically taken up in the United States by the neuropsychiatrist Walter Freeman and the neurosurgeon James W. Watts who devised what became the standard prefrontal procedure and named their operative technique lobotomy, although the operation was called leucotomy in the United Kingdom."

Walter Jackson Freeman II, M.D. (November 14, 1895 – May 31, 1972) was an American physician who specialized in lobotomy. He was a member of the American Psychiatric Association...Working in the field of medicine ran in his family and his grandfather, William Williams Keen, was well known as a surgeon in the Civil War. His father was also a very successful doctor. Freeman attended Yale University, which at the time was Yale College, beginning in 1912 and graduated with his undergraduate degree in 1916. He then moved on to study neurology at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. On November 12, 1935, a new psychosurgery procedure was performed in Portugal under the direction of the neurologist and physician Egas Moniz.[6] His new “leucotomy” procedure was used to treat patients with mental illness. Moniz became a mentor and idol for Freeman who modified the procedure renaming it the “lobotomy".

One of the things that eugenics made for families were pedigree charts example http://exhibits.hsl.virginia.edu/eugenics/2-origins/ having a president with mental health problems running in the family in the USA was for some not the ideal so..."John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated at 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time (18:30 UTC) on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas." also is brother Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy, was assassinated both death circumstances surrounding by conspiracy theories. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_John_F._Kennedy
Few knows that Rosemary Kennedy, the sister of John F. Kennedy, was lobotomized by "The Ice Pick Lobotomist: Dr. Walter Freeman"...:
"Dr. Freeman himself performed between 3,500 and 5,000 of them. He called lobotomies "soul surgery"...One of Freeman's most famous failures was the sister of a president. In 1941, Rosemary Kennedy, the sister of John F. Kennedy, was lobotomized at the age of 23. Rosemary was described as a shy and easygoing child, but in her teenage years, she became rebellious and moody. A doctor suggested that a lobotomy could calm Rosemary down. At the time, Freeman had only performed about 60 lobotomies and hadn't yet created his transorbital technique, so he performed a prefrontal lobotomy.
The operation did make Rosemary more manageable, because she was essentially left with the mental capacity of an infant. She couldn't speak intelligibly or control some bodily functions, and she stared into space for hours. Rosemary spent the rest of her life in an institution..."

But the question is if eugenics was in vogue how could someone with a history family of mental illness be in 1ª instance a president of a country? Maybe to raise hopes, to be assassinated, to sent a subliminal message and to induce a mental state in people of FEAR...when everybody was expecting a new time of freedom and their leader is killed people get depressed without hope, they join groups (religious, radicals...), they search alternatives in drugs...
Dr. Freeman failed with Rosemary who others failed with her brothers...
John Kennedy:
" Lee Harvey Oswald October 18, 1939 – November 24, 1963) was, according to four government investigations, the sniper who assassinated John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963....
Lee Harvey Oswald was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on October 18, 1939...Oswald attended the 7th grade in the Bronx, New York but was often truant, which led to a psychiatric assessment at a juvenile reformatory. The reformatory psychiatrist, Dr. Renatus Hartogs, described Oswald as immersed in a "vivid fantasy life, turning around the topics of omnipotence and power, through which [Oswald] tries to compensate for his present shortcomings and frustrations." Dr. Hartogs detected a "personality pattern disturbance with schizoid features and passive-aggressive tendencies" and recommended continued treatment..."

Robert Kennedy:
" Sirhan Bishara Sirhan (Arabic: سرحان بشارة سرحان, Sirḥān Bishārah Sirḥān; born March 19, 1944) is a Palestinian with Jordanian citizenship who was convicted for the assassination of United States Senator Robert F. Kennedy. He is serving a life sentence at Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga, California.
Sirhan's defense counsel, which included Attorney Grant Cooper, had hoped to demonstrate that the killing had been an impulsive act of a man with a mental deficiency..."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirhan_Sirhan
"District Attorney Evelle Younger, armed with a psychiatric evaluation of Sirhan that provided clear indications of mental disorder, readily accepted the defence plea of guilty to first-degree murder in return for a promise of life imprisonment. "
