Brain Injury Affects Moral Choices – SpiritSeeker’s blog
Article found in this blog post is interesting when associated with ideas about right and wrong, if you bring it down to how the brain operates and facilitates such avenues of thought. So many ways to think about it – I mean if morality is down to how the brain functions, perhaps people need religion to give morality grounding (however brain function will impact interpretation in the same way, so again, right and wrong, and morality start to become hazy); similarly, given that brains are different, it is extremely unlikely (I want to use the word, impossible) that everyone will accept one ultimate system of belief. So, how will there ever be unity? Can there even be some sort of unity through acceptance?
Also interesting, a link to Wikipedia found in the comments to this blog post.

this is rather comical to me-guess because i had brain surgery–yes, i believe, any kind of major surgery reminds you that you’re not immortal—-our brain is truly phenomenal—and if you died(flatlined) like i did, cause after they sawed my head open-used the wrong thing-another story-anyway, i saw what it’s going to be like when i go home-talk about breathtaking–you’re rather pissed when you’re back here-but i know where i’m going-you don’t things-i don’t care what it is unless you’ve experienced—kind of like a man getting a prostate exam by a woman dr.-she goes by a book cause she sure as hell doesn’t–unless she had something done we know nothing about or want to-see my point-anyway, just wanted to contribute-thank you-janmarie
