Serial Killer gene?

Question

If a gene was found that caused a person to be a serial killer/murderer and a pregnant mother could take the test to find out if their child had it, how many would actually terminate the pregancy?

Answer 1

a mothers love is too strong !guess she would spend her days trying to change him/ her

Answer 2

many mothers possibly would terminate the pregnancy however knowing that the child had this kind of gene would mean that the parent could go certain ways to help prevent the child from forming into one. like they could monitor what they watch or give them certain drugs to help prevent the murderous thaughts.

this is an odd uestion becuae there is no such thing as a killer gene. At the end of the day we are a product of our surroundings, if we are braught up in areas with gangs that u get caught up in then there is a chance that u could become one, or if yuo have suffered from abuse or have had a lot of hate in your life adn so on, but all these things can be prevented so yeah interesting i wonder how many mothers would if there were such agene?

Answer 3

I can't be certain about this because it is a foggy memory, but I seem to recall reading an article which suggested that upwards of 90% of individuals who go on to commit psychopathic crimes do indeed share a common 'defective' gene. However, there are vast numbers of people in society who live normal, happy lives who also carry this gene with no ill effects. The article suggested that individuals carrying this gene were much more likely to develop psychopathic tendencies if raised in bad environments, and being subject to poor treatment, when growing up.

I guess the best course of action would be to make the world a better place, but most seem to want a quick fix to societies problems...

Answer 4

Does a gene always develop? People carry many recessive genes, some that are harmful.

I would not terminate a pregnancy for that. It might not develop in the child. Just my 2p

Answer 5

that gene isn t real! they did test and two people who did happen to have it were killers but so were a lot of other none killer people.
Tome Brady had brown hair that doesn t mean everyone with brown hair is a killer

Answer 6

This ''Gene'' is actually true, not just the serial killer one either, rapists sicko's etc all come from the gene from the past somewhere and one day that ''gene'' just kicks in!!!

Answer 7

the only ingredient i'd desire to assert is, in the event that they have been waiting to stumble upon a serial killer in childrens that they had better have some sort of drugs to appropriate it, in any different case the government would someway make it needed to place childrens who technically have not completed something, in juvenile detention center, making them much extra dissatisfied maximum appropriate to an indignant existence,

Answer 8

I don't believe there is a gene ,I don't believe killing runs in family's ,have you ever heard of it ,? My uncle killed 3 people but no one else in the family has.I certainly don't have those thoughts.serial killers are a freak occurrence not a family trait.

Answer 9

No, I like a challenge. But if a doctor could determine that my wife would give birth to a right-wing politician, I would implore on her to do our bit for world peace.

Answer 10

There are a lot of children from seriel killers. Not right
