Deflating some ethical worries about biomarker- based classifications of antisocial individuals

Diagnoses of antisocial personality disorder, in classificatory systems as DSM or ICD, or psychopathy (Hare 2003) rely on behavioral tendencies and inferred personality traits. It has been argued that these diagnoses, misrepresenting the heterogeneity in antisocial populations, hinder the development of effective therapies. Instead, antisocial individuals should be classified by discovering the different underlying biomarkers of antisocial symptoms (Brazil et al., 2016). (See figure 1). In the paper, we address some ethical issues regarding the successful development of such biomarker- based classification of antisocial behavior.
