[Silence of the Lambs] Could Hannibal ever be rehabilitated?

Let's say you had an unlimited budget, and treated him like an anomaly.

Here's this psychologist that murdered a ton of people. 

Could he ever be returned to society if there were the world's best psychologists and such on team to try and re-educate him?

Not possible.  He's a complete sociopath with a brain incapable of empathy. Try all you want to rehabilitate him but he's too far gone to ever develop the needed mental state to no longer be a danger.  He'd be better off locked away for case studies or executed for his crimes with his brain donated to medical research.  Last I'd heard severe sociopaths could be trained to associate punishment for not feigning empathy in children and adolescents but in adults the treatment has a much higher failure rate. Lecter would be able to resist any treatment or understand it enough to manipulate it in his favor to appear like its working.  He's simply too intelligent and too far gone for any hope of meaningful recovery.  He knows he can get away with his crimes and has no fear of punishment so he'll do whatever he has to do in order to free himself to indulge in his habits once again.
