Would you love your child if they were the reincarnation of a serial killer or had brains of a psychopath?

I'll give you two scenarios. You can do as much as you can to steer them in the right direction and the best scenario is the child develops into a high functional psychopath (CEO, surgeon, lawyer, etc) that does competitive majors.

1st scenario:

The doctors were able to detect early on that your child indeed has chemical imbalance in his/her brain. Their prefrontal cortex (the major area responsible for empathy) has less grey matter in volume and thickness, much less than a normal brain. There is no cure for that.

2nd scenario:

If it was proven that reincarnation is true and experts at the field discovered that your child is really the reincarnation of a serial killer that got executed long ago and just like on the 1st example there is no cure for that.

Would you still love your child?

Yes

No

Basically in both examples, they were born like that. That's your child you just gave birth to or fathered. You're already aware there is no cure.

I would love my child no matter what,

If I knew he had a psychopathic brain, I would try my best to nurture him in a way to raise him a nice and a safe individual for other people.

I believe kindness can change the world and our worst inclinations can be defeated by love and care.

Even if they do not feel the love as we know it.

I also believe we all can choose who to become.

If they weren't trying to kill me, I would still love them. I would make sure they don't kill anybody if I knew in advance about their psycho brain haha
