Morality in the Next Millennium

Some wazzocks thank scripture for our moral judgements asif none existed before scripture was widely available. I can't argue that scripture doesn't provide (in places) some sounds moral frameworks but morality evolves (like any other idea) with time. Scripture didn't free blacks from slavery or provide women suffrage.

Following on from this It has recently been discovered that a disproportionate amount of murderers on death row have similar damage to the frontal lobe of their brains.

Hypothetically speaking (because nothing has yet been proven) if it was confirmed that this damage (which may have occured during an accident or even on the school playground when they were children) is more or less reponsible for the reason why they go on to commit agressive crimes, where does this leave us morally?

It was proven that repair to the damaged area reformed the criminal would you still consider the death penalty justified?

We regularly visit the dentist (when you can bleedin' find one) to have our teeth checked. We go for eye tests and smears, etc. How would you feel about having your brain scanned at birth and then commiting yourself to regular scans throughout your life?

What implications do you think the future of neuroscience will have on our moral climate?
