It is fascinating to read about studies that others are doing with regards to the brain. The research in this article seems reasonable to think that there is a link between brain development and criminality. Trying to understand why people do what they do, especially when it comes to bizarre and unacceptable behavior conducted by murders and pedophiles is necessary as we try to understand our how our brains really work. I think biology does play into our lives, I also think that circumstances and life situations have just as much impact. This specific area of study is a way to try to predict the future that is unpredictable. Life is dynamic and ever changing. This kind of a number could give an excuse for bad behavior. I could hear someone saying, “Well, I was diagnosed with cavum septum pellucidum when I was born, so I couldn’t control my actions.”
As a parent, I would not want to know my child’s number because I think you would focus on trying to correct this behavior, possibly focusing too heavily on this and less on other aspects of development. Parents have enough to deal with. Thinking that a child with this issue could possibly grow up to become a murder is pretty daunting. I think this question to a parent would be no different than having a genetic makeup of fetus done. It’s a personal decision that if results didn’t go exactly as you wanted, what would you do?
