Psychopathy Article

After reading the article I find it interesting that you really could find out if your child would become a psychopath. With this question though it rises much concern, such as could a parent really handle the news of a psychopath child? This just reminds me of a question we would always bring up way back in my grade school days...would you want to know when you would die? At first your like ahhhh ok I would want to know! But after some second thoughts would you really want to know, just waiting for the day to come for your whole entire life, no thanks on that one. As for the psychopath question (yes it isn't as serious as death) would you really want to know if you have psychopath like qualities just waiting to wander out into your feelings and thoughts? I don't think I would want to know my number just for the reason being I would freak out even more and make it more dramatic than need be, and being a psychopath on top of that would be one scary reaction. As for my child I guess I would just want to know if there was the possibility for change and adaptation. If you can make the brain think otherwise and not act on the actions you want to act on then knowing would only be beneficial. If otherwise there was no option for change then what good would knowing really do? You could possibly help something tragic from happening, but things will still happen.
