Your moral compass

[bennyboy]

Oh well, murder someone because you're sick...... and I'm still gong to take action against you...by locking you in a room I will never let you out of.

But don't you wish there were a way to, idk, save those people from a life condemned to a cell? I feel bad for people that have to go through that. It would be cool if with neuro science we could go in and like, rewire their brain so they're not psychopathic. 

That's often how my thoughts pan out. I try to imagine things that are way outside of the box.

You can do that.  It's called a frontal lobotomy.  The question is partly whether a person who's live all their lives with one set of traits would not see a person with another set of traits as death, or possibly murder, of the self.

I know, for example, that I could be a much better person if I were "rewired."  By from my current perspective, would I want that new-thinking guy fucking my wife and living my life?  No.  I have to accept myself, my limitations, my dreams and failures, as part of what it means to be me, and losing that would amount to death of the self.
