Re: Because that would mean humanizing the villains in their own lives

Interestingly enough on brain imaging of psychopaths...

http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/science/2013/11/the-neuroscientist-who-discovered-he-was-a-psychopath/

That seems to indicate that the people we traditionally think of as "psychopaths" are arguably a product of their environment as well as their DNA. The question then becomes, what is a psychopath? What does that word even mean? Does it just mean someone neurologically inclined towards violence, arrogance, and narcissism? Or does it mean someone who has crossed some line into being a serial killer, at which point - is there a difference between psychopathic serial killers and non-psychopathic serial killers, and if so, what is it?

(Sorry to hijack your thread/post, it's just a topic that intrigues me on many levels).
