When Jack was giving Libby the heroin, I was kinda hoping it would bring her back into conciousness (which it did) and she would somehow miraculously be okay, but then say, "what are you doing?! i'm was a herioin addict! dont give me that shiot!" b/c maybe thats why she was in the mental institution. ..sometimes they house the pyschs with the people in rehab... and thats how Hurley recognized her. far fetched, but i was hoping she'd be ok.
I was hoping the heroin would allow her to identify her killer... which she did but Jack misinterpreted her last words.
About the heroin, don't you find it funny that Sawyer had to give up the guns because of it? That's a good thing Charlie didn't take the drugs back when Sawyer offered them to him... Libby would have died in pain.
Heroin is an opiate. Opium is often used to help numb pain and is frequently used in medical situations. Morhpine, for instance, is an opiate, as well as codeine.
i don't understand why he had to give her the heroin in the the first place. At first i thought he wanted it so she wouldn't be in pain during surgery, but then he didn't do surgery! he knew that she was going to die and instead of ending it for her quickly he wastes time having Sawyer go after the drugs?
none of it made any sense. i'm not for euthanasia or anything, but i'm not for wasting drugs on somebody who's already dead if they can have a viable use later on. Also, why was Kate so broken up about it? (not that i'm complaining: it was sweet how Sawyer took her into his arms)
The heroin was explained to be used to ease her pain, while she died. I wouldn't call it wasting it either, considering there's a whole bunch of heroin.
