In our culture’s quest to wrest human responsibilty from any objective moral standards, out comes another scientific study that says scientists know where the brain determines what we choose.  Now that they have found it, the poor victims of compulsive gambling and eating disorders will no doubt soon have medications that will cause them to choose right instead of wrong.

brain.gifOh no!  wait.  Who now will choose what is right and wrong?  The moral delima is not quite over.  Who will choose which behavior is excessive and which behavior is merely expressive?  If new drugs can be deveoped that cause people to make better choices, will scientists be able to instill something in the medication that provides the foundation for right and wrong?
Silly?  Yes, I think so too.   It is silly to think that finding the part of the brain that grappels with choices will now lead to a revolution in behavior.  Yet, the quest for a victimized humanity continues.  What will be next?
