Crimes against humanity
Article Abstract:
Biomedical scientists should be wary of confusing the distinction between violation of the person and violation of the body. Advances in genetic research may challenge self-perception and are in opposition to all social interaction which encompasses the belief that individuals are more than just their bodies. Some people may be comforted by self-injury as this distances the person from the body. Psychopathic murderers may focus on manipulating the victim as a person rather than as a body, while paedophiles may focus on the victim's body.
