Manuel A. Crespo-Rodríguez This article is awesome. It's refreshening to read a not-so-common idea, yet an idea that has been thought a least once. What I find interesting about it all is the paradigm shift of humanity once radical technology has its way in society.

My mind is thinking about the movie Clockwork Orange, which poses an important moral question: what is good? The protagonist was a criminal that practiced ultraviolence, but he was brainwashed in a way that he couldn't do bad. So, if he couldn't do bad, was he really doing good? Nevertheless, this is not the real deal here, but stoping death penalty. Althought we may never know if a criminal is really doing good in such a futuristic scenario (brain implants or whatever), at least we'll know that a criminal isn't doing bad.
