Some geneticists are requesting to do a DNA study on the shooter hoping to find a marker that could help identify potentially violent people. Should the research be found to be valid, would you be in favor of mandatory genetic screening to identify such people?Such a marker can't do more than suggest a possibility, so what value can it offer? After all, all of Adam Lanza's DNA came from his two parents, and both of them made it to middle age without killing anyone. In fact, a diagnosis of schizophrenia already is such a marker, and a quite good one, in the sense that many mentally ill murderers are schizophrenic. But even that's of limited help, since most schizophrenics never try to kill anyone. |
