Given these sorts of results, it is curious that the ICRC sanctions killing ahead of blinding. Some period after blinding, subjects report that their happiness essentially returns to pre-injury levels.
But the scientific literature establishes that the ill effects of blindness on happiness are mostly ephemeral.
The aforementioned blinding-weapons ban is a perfect example: We may be justified in annihilating an enemy force, but not in blinding it. Second, considerations of inhumanity-another way in which law might try to limit the use of certain nonlethal weapons-often rest upon the highly dubious assumption that injury is worse than death.
