I can’t find a good excuse for murder, but brain scans may help us prevent them. Good for research. :l

I’m a Criminal Justice student and this is groundbreaking news, especially in terms of criminal profiling. We were talking about the ethics of such a test on criminals to see if their criminality was “innate” somehow and if it was impossible to prevent recidivism in some, was it invasion of privacy if required, is it valid in court, and other questions that I can’t remember, there were so many points.
