I do not represent in any way, my University, nor will I cite-in-text. What I write is life experience.

How can you reconcile the medical knowledge, which allows for the possibility of interference in the human brain with the legal regulations that have to uphold human rights?

Laws are made to protect the privileged and the corrupt. Members of some ‘societies’ giving the appropriate gesture tells the judge or magistrate this person is ‘one of us, the law must be carefully applied’. The legal-solution distance between rich and poor, fame and ignominy is legendary. The appearance of ‘justice’ which can mean anything from kindness to revenge is nurtured in the hypnotic illusion propaganda that ‘the law is all great’ and ‘above corruption’. The spin-off is some protection for the rest of us. That keeps the herd from stampeding.

The term ‘we are doing this the greater good’ will be the one which is used to get around any such dichotomy as your proposal.

Neurolaw is a branch of law that is emerging in our eyes, which must give the answer to the question about the acceptable level of ingrerene in the human brain.

Ok, so the Mengele mindset lives-on, the new world order mindset is flexing its muscles. The Israeli IDF terrorist “soldier’ interviewed after deliberately killing a Palestinian toddler casually replied “It would only grow up to be a terrorist, better to kill it now”. A hundred million people died for ambitions of others in WW11 and I think more since.

The world is plagued with wind-carried dust and disease through relentless bombing by psychopath orders. We pillory ‘psychopaths’ who commit sometimes horrific actions against others, yet they may represent a majority.

Are people favouring capital punishment not worse than the convicted?...they get-off on thinking about the ‘legalised’ and gruesome kill.

The Central Banker demands that countries give equity for debt led to the deforestation which initiated the Ebola outbreak in the 1950’s….not as is currently promenaded, recent years and promenaded without the Central-Banker cause. Any psychopaths in there?

Mossad assassinations mount to scores of thousands. Religions are silent, thus ‘tacitly supporting’ of their foot-soldiers slaughtering the ‘heretics’ of some other psychopathic religion or some person in the wrong place at the wrong time. We as ‘nations’ applaud these psychopaths and make excuses for the organisations, some held in high esteem by hiding their psychopathy through deviousness and evasiveness and excuses made in the pulpit. The ‘original’ religion is ‘koala’d’ of its guilt-free evils through deviousness in every power-aspect of Society.

Hannibal Lector is held up to shock us and pretend he is ‘different’. Is having a friend around for dinner to eat him worse than conniving to distance people from their money?... What of Police who execute people flourishing a knife when other harmless solutions are available….and rejected.

What will we do with these millions of ‘acceptable’ psychopaths?,... a one way trip over the ocean to feed the other sharks?

Your question raises a ‘total society’ issue.

Physicians and scientists agree that having the right research equipment and knowledge about the functioning of the brain they can determine the ability of a person to bear full responsibility for their actions.

No… Physicians and scientists (may)CLAIM that having the right research equipment and knowledge about the functioning of the brain they can determine the ability of a person to bear full responsibility for their actions.

“Who”?...how many? Where? Under what auspices? on what basis”, after what mental examination?… including their own. Will it be fair? Every person tested?

Today, neuroscience affects criminal law and forensic science, contributes to the redefinition of such concepts as, for example, sanity, insanity, awareness or incapacitation.

Yes.

Currently, in most legal systems, psychopaths are considered to be well-versed and aware of their deeds. Because they often do not show remorse they receive high penalties. According to the current state of neurological knowledge, psychopathy is a disease, and a person affected by it has no ability to empathize and experience deep feelings. Should this be a mitigating circumstance during the trial and when the court issues its judgment? Or should you rather examine potential psychopaths and isolate them from society before they commit a crime?

Currently, in most legal systems, psychopaths are considered to be well-versed and aware of their deeds.

No, in decent legal systems it requires more examination than that simplification. By ‘whom’ is that consideration inserted?

The potential for corruption and power madness posing as ‘right and licence’ is every day evident in several ‘religious’ mainstreams exercising their evils and madness and lust using ‘god’ of some form as their justification. We don’t get rid of their psycho-religions, we make excuses.

It is evident psychopaths are placed and promoted in Parliament, the Police Force, the Military, in Science and Universities to mention a few. Then comes the ruthless manager ‘up there’ or ‘on the way’….Sure, let’s get rid of them from ‘society’ but where would be place these millions?...On the basis of their empathy, perhaps a one way ride over the ocean?...feed the other sharks?

Is precedent law not a form of psychopathy?... , psychopathy is a disease, and a person affected by it has no ability to empathize and experience deep feelings…’Affected by it?...judges and lawmakers? asserting previous decisions,”

It is one of the indicators of mental disability in the judicial system to exercise bias against people showing no emotion…or laughing in court when convicted. They are symptoms carried by the (perhaps) psychopath. We say ‘inappropriate’ or worse. To experience emotion, as do we all want and need , the psychopath may ramp up a situational response to a point we could not tolerate in the most extreme cases but for him/herself, only begin to feel. ….though we are apparently ok with such as ‘legalised’ torture and execution yet are propaganda’d by proven pathological liars called ‘leaders’ to not feel guilt?

One might ask about the mental condition of slaughterhouse workers or of the bankers who initiated, conducted and financed the French and Russian (two) ’revolutions’ and most modern wars.

My point in extrapolation here is a concern for the prejudice, bias and corruption into which your two only alternatives can be themselves extrapolated.

We, as a whole, are very posturing as being “selective” even ‘democratic’ about which psychopaths we elect, serve, ‘tolerate’ and welcome. We do not even select them.

We posture and praise because we have no power to change the overall situation, we benefit from it if we are ‘good and obedient, pay taxes and go to war as required’. Power-brokers select our voting options. Compliance also releases us to exercise our own psychopathy…which may be an ADHD/Aspergers mix for which ‘society’ and pre-or post-natal dna diseases may be causal,...silica respiration by the pregnant woman for example. Another, the period of no endorphins present during gestation otherwise protecting a foetus from pain, leading to incurable neurosis in maturity.

Media persecutes and characterises accused and also convicted people who show no emotion. They then persecute them on release, almost certainly hoping to drive them to “told you so’ recidivism. No psychopathy there? What about the psycho's who work in the prisons?...

Stop thinking psychopaths are ‘from another planet’, they are us, to the greater of lesser degree. Our excuse is 'crime of passion'...for example...well, that's ok then I suppose you hated beating your wife to death or executing another psychopath bikie, or running a bicyclist off the road or if a truckie, lining up over-taking procedures to cause major issues or death to a car driver.......We just don't see their faces, or hear their laughter. We only see that sometimes in the courtroom.. hardly a good sample on which to purport they are abnormal.

Dear Anthony,

thank you so much for such extensive and interesting voice in this discussion.

Best regards!

Hi...if I added something of value Przemyslaw, I'm pleased. It probably was not the answer you sought but widened the paint brush. Presumably you are in Poland(?)

My Regards

Dear Anthony,

Yes, your answer was very valuable for me. Thank you very much once again.

Yes, I'm in Poland

Please, accept my kindest regards,

Przemysław

I just finished spectating a course on neuroendocrinology (I am a law student, and thus this is not my main field), and even though there is research supporting that people convicted of murder and rape have more testosterone1. A problem that all studies on neuroendocrinology face, is that a part of the explanation on how testosterone, oxytocin and vasopressin works, is largely dependant on context. For example testosterone has been linked to social status-seeking behaviour, but what is seen as status-seeking behaviour can vary largely based on both immediate context and cultural context. This means that using brain chemistry to predict behaviour is extremely difficult, which makes your idea of isolating people based on brain chemistry a terrible idea. A lot of people who have high testosterone levels are not criminals. Maybe a better idea would be to improve on the context - teach people better methods of status-seeking than committing crime. The idea of using high testosterone as a mitigating circumstance is interesting, but again, high testosterone and low oxytocin doesn't necessarily mean that you become a criminal, it just means that you are more likely to seek status, and less likely to care about what other people think. If you need me to link some more research, feel free to ask. Also, where does this come from " Physicians and scientists agree that having the right research equipment and knowledge about the functioning of the brain they can determine the ability of a person to bear full responsibility for their actions. "? I haven't heard about any studies that support this, and it sounds interesting. 1https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/019188699400177T
