- * Rosemary Kennedy was the sister of John F. Kennedy. When she was born she suffered from hypoxia and did not meet her milestones on time. In her early 20's Ms Rosemary Kennedy became more erratic and irritable, sometimes prone to violence. Her father agreed for her to have a lobotomy which unfortunately was not successful. After the lobotomy, she lost most cognitive function and was institutionalized until her death in 2005.
