They literally are devoid of it. Their brains don't allow them to recognize it.

Emotion is a spook.

The brain is a very powerful thing.

And their wiring is fucked up.

Oh then if Alexithymia truly is without emotion. Psychopaths and sociopaths are not.

And I haven't heard of someone in death row with Alexithymia

So far atleast

Never heard of a criminal with that either

It's clearly new to me either way

Besides its a dysfunction in emotional awareness but it doesn't mean they're completely devoid of emotion.

Emotions are a spook

Criminals must be treated with reprogramming and social rehabilitation.

Agreed.

Execution is pointless bloodshed.

Yeah, it's very rare. And psychopaths tend to have shallow emotivity as opposed to a complete lack of it.

If its to merely punish then that's also pointless since it's preventing the person from feeling punished too.

@Deleted User Which is why they need to be cured.

Or treated atleast.

Psychopaths have been treated successfully before.

Anyone that goes on a killing spree deserves to be executed.

@Firefly despite reprogramming techniques they still kill others

If reprogramming and social rehabilitation did not work labor camp will.

They deserve it but they shouldnt be executed

that is pointless

Killing sprees are destined to happen eventually. Killing them wont prevent that at all.

It is pointless to waste valuable time and precious resources trying to "rehabilitate" them. That could be used on criminals that haven't slaughtered innocent people.

I believe the slaughtered people shouldn't be slaughtered.

@Deleted User only resources from labor camps made by other criminals are used.

Therefore keeping the killers alive and studying them is best for the innocent lives.

@Firefly What? Lol

There is no need to kill them.

@Deleted User do not use public money. Make criminals work in labor camp and sponsor reprogramming for others.

It's merely logical vengeance and anger driven. There is no good reason to kill a mass murderer.

I don't believe that. We've already studied hundreds of serial killers. They just need to be injected and done with.

Not enough studies it seems.

The human brain can be altered

we need to advance more in order to cure and/or treat them better.

Some have been treated already

Some people are literally beyond repair. You could throw them in a hospital and drug them into submission but that would be a waste of time and resources that could be directed elsewhere.

They're only beyond repair if you think they are

you'd be surprised to how much humans advance
