Criminal responsibility

In a neuroethical context, the issue of "culpability" arises from the question of whether humans possess free will: only when someone commits an act of their own free will can it be morally evaluated. Based on their research findings, some leading neuroscientists argue that humans do not possess free will. According to this view, even criminals are not responsible for their actions. If this way of thinking were to prevail, it would have significant legal implications in addition to moral ones.
