An Icy Political Vision - NYTimes.com:

Perhaps we are looking at the most dangerous evolutionary trend the human race has ever undergone. That is the "depersonalization" of significant portion of the population. Maybe there are non-persons among us who exhibit most of the superficial characteristics of human persons but the genetic predisposition towards empathy and compassion are not present in their DNA and (most disturbingly) their descendants will continue and even further this genetic disorder in successive generations. When they cheer at execution statistics, defile military heroes because of their sexual orientation and display other forms of inhumane behavior, they are demonstrating seriously anti-social, perhaps even sociopathic tendencies. How do we this situation? It should not be ignored but most of the alternatives seem at this point, too horrible to consider.
