Scientists Find Brain Cells Linked to Choice

An anonymous reader writes "Scotsman.com is reporting that Harvard Medical researchers may have found the neurons, or brain cells, that play a role in a persons ability to choose between different items. From the article: 'Scientists have known that cells in different parts of the brain react to attributes such as color, taste or quantity. Dr Camillo Padaoa-Schioppa and John Assad, an associate professor of neurobiology, found neurons involved in assigning values that help people to make choices.'"

Re:Does genetics make our choices?

I must voice my agreement with the esteemed parent-poster and voice my support of his most valid and sincere observations. I have found that many so-called "psychiatrists" and their associates in this day and age practice a dangerous pseudo-science which attributes actions to a malaise of the brain, as though the mind were held at the whim of its physical environs. Nay, good sirs, God in His infinite wisdom hath given man Free Will, and places Free Will and Reason in the seat of the human mind. To attribute human action to the basest of physical exigencies is Godless, dishonest, and immoral. Indeed, as it is our exercise of Free Will which is the basis of our morality, so-called "Mental Illness" is properly categorized as a moral shortcoming. That we should allow a place for such morally deficient people in our society, and even beyond this, to accommodate them and give credence to their duplicitous claims that their faults are not born of their own corruption is truly lunacy on a level exhibited by the very people whom so-called "Progressives" wish to enable in their vices.

Surely many will contend, "But sir, what of the fairer sex, so oft guided not by reason but by emotional folly?" Remember though, that God created Man in His image, and woman as a derivative. Being an imperfect replica of Man, the vagaries of Hysteria may indeed strike women against their diminished Will, but remember too that this affliction is readily ameliorated by a Hysterectomy. Bear in mind too, that harsh is this may seem, barrenness is no punishment, but a natural decision to curb the propagation of maladies of the mind.

In conclusion, fuck you CrazyJeremy. Xenu will prevail, and the thetans will rape your mind mercilessly until you have perished from your mortal form.
