“The fact that an advanced and sophisticated democratic society such as India would actually convict persons based on an unproven technology is even more incredible,” said Dr. Rosenfeld.
I think this article proves the advancements in the world now. People on earth have always been trying to improve anything that can possibly use improving. It truly is amazing to think of where we have come from and where we will be in 100 years. Just look at the way things were during the Trojan War and how things are now. We are trying to brain scan people for the truth! That's incredible. But I do agree with Henry T. Greely when he commented, “I find this both interesting and disturbing.”
The journey of man is a very interestings one and is not even near reaching its end.
I thought this article was very interesting. I kind of makes you think about what's right and wrong and how the world is growing all the time. I think it's a good one to read if you're interested in this kind of subject.

This is really interesting, but what is your opinion on it?
I think christina did a good job with this post. This article is indeed interesting. To the other commenter, she did state her opinion it was just not stated as "this is my opinion". Christina said that she tought that this was very contreversial. I don't mean to be mean but I just felt it needed to be pointed out.
That's amazing technology. I agree, though, it shouldn't be used to convict people until it's been scientifically proven. Also, I like your connection to the Trojan War. It is interesting to think about the technology we had back then -- chariots driven by horses, bronze spears -- compared to brain scans!
This is such an interesting article. It's amazing how much technology has been growing in the past few years. I agree with you when you say "I think it is really advanced technology that we should be trying to improve, but I don't think you can convict someone when it hasn't been proven yet". This is very true because even if there is a little flaw in the device, a person who is innocent could end up in jail or something worse. It will be interesting to follow this device and see where it goes in the future years.
