Brain Injury Affects Morality

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.
