I didn't say "a plot EXACTLY like Minority Report, I said a situation that is just as ludicrous. This is a physical way of paraphrasing. The paraphrase comes into effect bascially because whether through genes or psychic albinoes, you're determining guilt before anything has even physically happened.

Secondly, believe it or not, not all science is going to remain the same forever.

Agreed, but it'll take quite some time for people to accept it.

I read this in an article somewhere, and I'm pretty sure it had to do with certain genes that were likely to make people more physically aggressive.

Having testosterone also predisposes someone to being aggressive. I don't mean having testosterone at all, but large amounts of it. One of the symptoms of steroid abuse (which the key ingredient is...you guessed it, testosterone) is shortened temper. Most passion killings also result from shortened temper. But then again, walking in on your wife having sex with another man would shorten your fuse significantly, I'd think.

Not everybody in a "Mommy didn't hug me enough" situation will grow up and be a Serial Killer.

Just as everyone who has the Serial Killer Gene won't necessarily become a serial killer. I'd assume the best way to assuage that is the bring the child up with strong morals.

That was the point of it. Detect who has the genes that could make them capable of it, then make sure they get alot of hugs.

Yea, I agree with that part.
