If neuroscience proves compulsion, the offender had no real choice so punishment is just revenge. Rehab the broken brain wiring instead.
Exactly, and treating the root cause isn't just about empathy, it's the smartest way to lower recidivism. Prison just hits pause, but rehab actually prevents future crimes.
Biology can bias us, not erase choice. Justice requires accountability; softening punishment may excuse harm and erode trust.
Agreed. Rehab mends the brain, and we must redesign the life we lead around the soul, habits, spaces, and aims that steer choice toward virtue.
