Ive been listening to the radio broadcast about neuroscience development and its possible influence on law, but it quickly turned into metaphysical meanders. So Im not fully satisfied and I'm asking you.
The main theme of the broadcast was (should have been) is it possible that neuroscience can change our understanding of crime and guilt in future. For example, if it will become obvious that genes or some parts of brain or neurological processes play a crucial role in human decisions and we will be able to change them, will we have to change our approach to criminal law. Will the murderer be responsible in the same way as he is now for his crime if we will know that he was predisposed to crime and unaware of this?
