I’m going to talk on this occasion about a
scary issue at least worries
the lawyers particularly to the
criminals to sociologists to the
psychologists to educators to the
priests because the subject puts in cloth
of judgment the columns on which
they built all their theories all their
dogmatic freedom the will to
last dates has been discovered
a lot of new functions
brain and how the substances that
generates our body affect the cortex
in the brain circuits
it turns out that the brain is this mass of
meat that we have that weighs a kilo 300
400 grams is the most complex machinery
of the universe
at least it is the most complex that
has discovered until today discover those
elements puts into question I repeat
many concepts
the central Liberty with
I think about the classic concept
of crime crime
we say the penalties is the behavior
typical unlawful and guilty that
penal laws punish a conduct
it is very easy to determine if this
behavior is typical enough that it is
written and is written in a
order is unlawful that
possibility also has to be in
that order the guilt is the
subject is not in the ordinances the
penalty is in the ordinances the
guilt is not something else and what
we know who the criminals are
ask could that person opt for
another option shot his mother biologist
his girlfriend defrauded his partner
the question is could he choose
for another alternative for a long time
time it was said if the gentleman in exercise
of your freedom or the person exercising
your freedom decided to do it is guilty
and this is the crucial issue for us
of genes make a small a small
digression to talk about topics are
logical and now he returned to the legal issue
you know the octopus female
of the pacific octopus gigantic the octopus
when soba female lays her
Eggs in a cave knows that
these eggs are absolutely
vulnerable that there are dozens of
predatory desires to eat their
eggs and the female octopus guard
guard at the door this cave in the
entrance to the cave until they start
born the pulpits in the effort is
dies of starvation because he does not eat
in that time he dies until the
small octopuses
I ask you, we can talk about having
maternal denial
I think of another example, the culillo
you have seen that little bird that comes out
what makes this bird good is
pretty sinister
the female does not hatch the female when
feel that the egg is coming for a nest
of a bird similar to hers and
when the bird that is guarding
he walks away for food by any
thing arrives at the nest puts the egg strip
one of the others so you do not notice that
there were three that follow 3 and never again
come back to see that egg July when
the bird comes awakened from an egg
little bigger a little smaller but
good what the and wielding the nucleus is born
fast and the first thing the clio does
stretch with your legs to your brothers and
the girl who arrives continues to feed
to the cuvillo we can talk about fraud or
of usurpation of personality
think of the lions in the stores
wild dogs
but they follow a zebra or magacela the thing
they wait they throw them a base forward one
on a right flank the left flank
does not bite them and for another death the thigh
we could talk about crime
organized
the question is could these animals
opt for a different behavior
the bees in hexagonal cells
perfect isolated each
the beavers on levees to contain the
stream of a river and power their houses
the ants in underground galleries
fantastic we can talk about talent
artistic architectural education
konrad lorenz father of ethology in the
Nobel Prize in 1983 our instincts
already has a marked weight in which in
these animals
the subject is they were able to choose another
behavior the hyenas the lions the
cuckoo or pacific female octopus
of Japan is an example imagine an
man who falls in love with a young girl says you
I love dying for you have two children with
She then tells Chávez that he no longer
I want to forgive you I can not be
with you or with these children that I do not want
today but you got engaged you do not want
to be and leaves with another one falls in love and
has two other children with her and after
of a time and sexual that I no longer want
to be with you a woman appears in me
life that I think is the correct
what do you think this man is a
unfaithful guy is a worthless guy is a
miserable guy and someone would say good
maybe he could not choose another driver
do not forgive the animals is very different
to men, men are right
men opted really decided
emory university and university
from maryland they did an experiment
fantastic with a planner topillo
this topic of protest was has a
hormone that has modified its circuits
brain and is one of the animals
monogamous par excellence point peep
prairie never changes partner in
comparison with mountain mice
the mountain does not have oxytocin and
vasopressin but in very low amounts
are the names of these substances
there is an example province can not
you see in the networks where you are in
a terrarium the meadow top and the
mountain mouse with their respective offspring
and your partner sees a hand with a glove
They take out the tall male rogue and the mouse from
mountain away from the mouse and the
little mice three days later they return to
place the prairie mouse and the mouse
of mountain with their respective couples and
its probable in the case of the mouse’s
prairie the mouse and kicks run to
rub your eyes and thing rub the
skin of our narrative would be for what
good that you arrived we are worried
because in the case of the mountain mouse
there is an absolute and disturbing
indifference proton to voltaire the
little mice see it and nobody interacts
nobody does anything that we could say it
they lacked values to these mice of
mountain they did not have they did not have the
ability to love they did not understand and
they read the classics and I had a mother
who would like them we can say that
think for example our
sexual preferences
we choose who we like
we can choose
they say even in extremes when a
man and I like that woman no other
that drives me crazy that no longer but
those good gentiles themselves I like
that or imagine this same man
I like that man I want to be with that
man or a woman who wants to be
with that woman
we are free in our preferences
sexual
We can choose who we want and who
do not
we can really choose we are guilty
not guilty of that he could
punish a person for having cancer
support
diabetes is that we are already entering the subject
important
people say eye is not the substances
is the means that determines us and be
many sociologists and there is the
epigenetics and epigenetic he goes
beyond our genes and I put a
example the cortisol usually our
adrenal glands at this time
start to shake
we will all run and our
body and cortisol discharge
a while ago the cortisol are removed
think of a child every day
it generates cortisol because every day
his drunken father arrives to beat him to
his mother and his cortisol brothers do not
it’s eliminated so easily and it’s annihilating the
dopamine serotonin
oxytocin and vasopressin and
deep depressive aceviños
environment influences but I was doing
that we generate certain substances of
our own body
I have never believed that prison is a
important solution it seems to me that
pressure to come very few people
I think the alternate ways are the most
interesting and in many cases apply
these alternate measures but let’s think about
the serious cases that happens with a subject
like the one that a few weeks ago killed 17
your classmates and school teachers
what’s up with the one that last year
killed more than 50 people and left
injuring 100 2 with a weapon
repetition in las vegas
what do we do with them and the question is
they could choose another behavior
many lawyers to defend their
client says no they could not opt for
other behavior was determined
I do not think so I think the fact
that we have certain substances or not
we have certain substances are not
innocent
we all have bladder we have to
urinating that does not justify that we have here
that does not justify that today we have a
restaurant
we have to be prepared socially
to do it at the right times
that we have very low and very low
dopamine serotonin that we have a the
cortisol or noradrenaline
means we can kill what yes
change will not change the sanction
what will change in the next
years and it is the great challenge of law
criminal is who are going to be the judges
I think lawyers will no longer be
pharmacobiologists and they will be chemists are going to
change the sanctions will no longer be 20
years or 30 years in prison
the function will be put oxytocin
remove cortisol
give him vasopressin suppress him add
from the emory and maryland scientists
they injected the mountain mice
vasopressin oxytocin surprise the
they made faithful or faithful is the pela is
the word that we understand some great
here is what I would have dictate
some of our couples but more
there
beyond the beyond the joke
the issue is what will happen in the future
with the criminal law because this
I would change the whole vision of punishment
the whole vision of human rights
it’s not about doing something new
it’s about building on what
we have when a judge says you are going to
ten years in prison is suspending
human rights when a judge says
you are going to have to be injected with
this one with that was suspending the
human rights and the judges I repeat
they will have a completely profile
different from what we know today
people say good the end of the sentence is
reinserting the redota reinserted so
we are going to reinsert in this one he killed his
mother oxytocin we remove him we put
can go out and then people have
decided and wait for me the Lord killed my
son saw my daughter can not go out and we
let’s give an account if you really order the
the penalty and reinsert or is the answer
that society gives or if it is a reproach
that society and so there
is going to change this is going to change
enormously something I can tell you
when our grandchildren have our
age and see our letters our
books our movies to say today
Grandpa or Grandma
not so ugly the one who would send prisons
now there are no pressures
as well as the rhythms of the practices
medical granting sangria supposed
leeches and we laugh that how are they going to
end with an epilepsy with
leeches
that way they will laugh when in our
prisons of the dreadful state that
we have the chemistry the biology and
particularly the neurosciences
completely change this panorama the
good news is that we have many more
questions that answers at this time
I said earlier scare should terrify
have said because they imply freedom
of determinism old visions
missions in which to transform that world
happy of the one who talked to 2000 and the only
What we can not do is ignore what
comes forward
thank you very much
[Applause]
