"...On the other hand, how do the pro-life/pro-death penalty advocates defend their stance?"
So an unborn child is the same as a homicidal sociopath?
|
Sort of. Really until about 2-3 years old, a child WOULD kill you if it thought it'd get him what he wanted.
|
See, this is why I never want to have kids. I've heard way too many horror stories like this.
|
It's not a horror story really... it's just, that part of the brain of consiousness dosn't exist yet.
That's why you can't fully diagnose a sociopath until there nearly adults, because sociopathic behavior on some level is NORMAL with kids.
|
I thought the key indicator of sociopathy was sadism towards animals as a child?
|
Yes and no.
Sociopaths are likely to be mean to animals as children... because it's a sign that such things haven't been developing.
That's not to say they won't "eventually get it" before they hit the age where that kind of thing is gone for good.
Kid's who do those things are tagged with "Sociopathic behavior" but aren't actually called sociopaths until like 15 or 16... when it's generally too late.
