Paedophilia : Faulty wiring in the Brain

I read an interesting article that connect pedophilia with faulty wiring in the brain. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7116506.stm

Lead researcher Dr James Cantor said the latest study found a significant lack of white matter connecting six different areas of the brain all known to play a role in sexual arousal. His theory is that the lack of adequate wiring between the different centres results in paedophiles not being able to differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate sexual objects.

Some of these studies lead to very controversial consequences. Soon parents and other institutions will force their teachers, coaches, staff and anyone else interacting with kids to take this test. Not misunderstand me, I am all for such test. But till now we don't have a system of privacy in place where not just the result of the test but the test itself is anonymous. I live in a society where taking a test itself is a sigh of guilt for example taking an AIDS test is a sigh that you might have had sex.

So all you wanna be pedophiles, murderers, rapist and other criminal out there, watch out! your are being watch and your brain is being scanned and you don't even know it.
