"We like to think it’s our choice to help an old lady across the road or push her into the traffic. But an increasing number of scientists say we’re fooling ourselves. Are some of us just hard-wired to be bad? Neuroscientists are calling it “the most interesting case history in the world” and it involves a nice man who became a paedophile because he had a brain tumour. The life of the gentle, intelligent 40-year-old schoolteacher in the United States, first started to go off the rails five years back. Totally out of character, he began visiting paedophiliac websites. Next he was making sexual advances to his young stepdaughter, so his wife had him arrested for child molestation. On the point of going to jail, he complained of severe headaches, and a benign tumour the size of an egg was discovered in the “prefrontal” area of his brain. After the op his paedophiliac urges vanished, and he returned to normal. "
