Would you kill a baby Hitler... or a baby psychopath?

Would you kill baby Hitler?

If you could go back in time, and have the power to knock off baby Hitler, or baby Dahmer, baby Mengele, etc… Would you?

Just think of how many lives you could save.
Just think that if you knew, beyond any doubt, yet still allowed the child to live, would that not make you culpable?

With all the modern brain science, that seems… seems capable of detecting psychopaths… Are we at risk for entering an era of eugenics by default, under the guise of public safety..?

We’re all aware of how society has changed in the last two decades with all levels of government proclaiming new controls under the threat of terrorism. Real or not, could the same standards of public safety (the common good) be used to offer brain scans as evidence to promote eugenics?
