Psychopathy: The Killing Of Serial Killers
Every day is filled with death. A human, a dog, a bird, a mouse, a bee. Which life is worth more? Do they even have any worth? It is estimated that every second two persons die somewhere in the world. Every minute someone is expected to die of cancer in the U.S alone. There are over seven billion humans alive today.

Are antisocial people evil when they commit atrocities such as murder, when they have no control over whether they feel remorse or regret because of their past? It’s not right for them to murder, but they aren’t necessarily evil when they can’t understand otherwise. So in reality, the idea of evil is not as hard cut as black and
