:
... psychologists have time and time again discovered psychological similarities between murderers, rapists, paedophiles, and other criminals? ... These people didn't ask to be born like this. They were condemned at birth, cursed to do something so horrible, then get treated like shit for it for the rest of their lives. This isn't fair, and the only thing that can truely prevent it is understanding in the place of ignorance.

No amount of understanding will help those that genuinely ARE just twisted deviants who enjoy taking a life or raping children. You can't say ALL of them are mentally ill, or we'd ALL be. Most probably are to some degree, sure - but at the same time not all people that are mentally ill are murderers or rapists. Some use it as a convenient get-out clause, too - "oh, I was ill". To be honest, no, I don't think we should experiment on them, since it demeans us in turn (It's a bit like eye for an eye - and "an eye for an eye and the world goes blind"). I'm just soft, though.

But that's like saying a person who sets an examination question has to answer the question themself before they make others do so. I don't see what me not being experimented on has to do with anything.

*raises finger* Is it not taken that the person who sets the question knows the answer so s/he knows it's possible TO answer? Or is that too obvious? :b
The Nazis did a lot of work at death camps like Auschwitz on handicapped or terminally ill people, if I recall. And there's plently of people out there who'd happily experiment on homosexuals to "cure them of their homosexuality" if they had the chance. :P
But then, hey, that's just double standards for you.
