Lawyers and Psychiatrists Answer the Tough Questions in The Walking Dead

This article was written by the psychiatrists of Broadcast Thought—H. Eric Bender, M.D., Praveen R. Kambam, M.D., and Vasilis K. Pozios, M.D.—and the attorneys of Law and the Multiverse, James E. Daily and Ryan M. Davidson, who recently collaborated on a panel at WonderCon entitled “Not Guilty by Reason of Zombification? Law and Forensic Psychiatry After the Zombie Apocalypse.” As lawyers and psychiatrists, they address the legal and medical questions raised by the many extreme situations in The Walking Dead TV show.

Spoilers follow for Season 3, including the finale.

The AMC television series The Walking Dead, based on the comic book series of the same name, has rapidly become one of the most famous examples of the zombie fiction genre. Although the series takes place during a time when federal, state, and local governments have basically failed, it’s important to remember that, assuming some kind of government is eventually reconstituted, the survivors may still have to answer for their actions during the zombie apocalypse.

There is no statute of limitations on murder, after all, and there is historical precedent for isolated people in dire circumstances being called to account after the fact, such as survivors of shipwrecks.

Do the Undead Have Legal Responsibilities?

Obviously the walkers themselves cause most of the deaths in The Walking Dead, but could they ever be held legally responsible in any way? To answer this question, we must first answer the question “Are walkers legally dead or legally alive?” The answer may not be as obvious as you might think, as the cause of the zombie plague in The Walking Dead works a little differently than in other zombie fiction.

E se il Papa sapesse...?

Strano messaggio trasmesso in diretta da tre stazioni tv locali statunitensi, due in Michigan ( Wnmu e Wbup) e una in Montana (Krtv). Mentre i programmi andavano avanti, una voce metteva in guardia che "i corpi dei morti stanno risorgendo dalle loro tombe e stanno attaccando i vivi". Le tv danno la colpa a qualche hacker buontempone. Secondo le autorità l'attacco non arriva dagli Stati Uniti bensì dall'estero. (Da Repubblica.it)
