is capable of having a conscience, it is smply a matter of
chemical reactions in the brain and whether the genes that turn-
on those chemical reactions are not inhibited. Therefore, unless
there is a defect, a conscience is built-in. However, there is a
growing body of study showing there is an epigenome. Think of it
as the off and on switches for genes. So, enviromental factors
could turn off the switch for the chemicals that help form a
conscience. Thus, you are partially right on a genetic level,
some are born without the switch on and some have the switch
turned off by enviromental factors. However, the synapses form
in the first 3 years, and these are crucial years for the
ability to form relationships (cont)
