Yes. I believe there was a case in California where a man kept a little girl locked in a closet for about twenty years (no education, very little human interaction). When she was rescued, she had permanent brain damage that was visible on brain scans. That doesn't prove your point. How do you know she wasn't genetically predisposed to growing a damaged brain? The doctors seem to think her inability and brain damage was caused by outside conditions. "Starved of stimulation, Genie’s brain simply did not develop the capacity for language. Now that she is in her teens she will never be able to learn."Here is the article right here; mymultiplesclerosis.co.uk/ec/genie-the-los-angeles-wild-child/ |

Modern medical studies are still at the monkey end of the evolutionary scale. We have the fact that one banana does not make a bunch. We have the fact that many medical beliefs are disproved with time as studies continue. We have the fact that things are never black and white in nature, but on a curved scale. What else you got? |

I got my opinion. And my opinion is, nobody knows what percentage of psychopathy is conditional. And what percentage is genetic. And I got Flying Monkeys, whose opinion I respect, but don't agree with. But is still a great source of information. And a good sounding board to bounce my opinions off of. |

I was going to continue the compliment. But since you called me movielicker, instead of movieliker, I will leave it at that. |
