Those types of decisions, i think, are going to be much more useful coming out of the neuroscience in the near term. In the long term, maybe we can get to the point where we make individualized decisionmaking, but so far it hasnt actually panned out. To all of you, do you think that it would be appropriate to keep this out of the courtroom, for instance, until there is a lot m...
