soapbox

Well, I reckon we all knew it was coming, but I’m still worried about the sort of legal floodgates this may eventually lead to.

Fortunately, the research is still in its infancy, and it may well come to show that pathological liars and other folks with certain psychiatirc tendencies can stump an MRI, effectively relegating it to the same legal realm as polygraphs.

I’d put good money on the chance that most of us will live to see the Supreme Court hear a case regarding the use of MRI technology for lie detection.
