Psychopaths are incapable of feeling empathy towards others and one theory based on brain scans is that there is pathological damage to the orbital cortex in the brain. There's a theory that the MAOA gene can play a role in causing psychopathy by flooding the foetal brain with serotonin I think. What happens when you give a psychopath E? Can you artificially induce the emotion of empathy in such monsters? I'm merely curious, obviously I know there would be no point in actually doing this in practice.
