As reprehensible as is the crime, it is clear that she is mentally ill—however not so mentally ill as to avoid punishment in any way.

My point is that she is a mental aberrant, who needs to be studied in prison. Not with the hope of curing her, but with the idea of profiling her, for the next time a young girl becomes a ruthless killer. Maybe someday stopping a different killer before they kill.

CAT scan her brain, go over her fluids with a detailed analysis, examine her DNA. If there is an organic reason for her being this way, find it.

She is of no more value than a lab rat, but she does have value *as* a lab rat.

The life of the girl she killed cannot be restored. But preventing such murder in the future is worth the effort. Likely just a few weeks out of the rest of the life of this killer.

I agree with you. The potential value to society of the information should take precedence over concerns such as privacy.

She would probably not object anyway. Being a lab rat is more fun than cleaning toilets or making license plates.

They already have a good idea what movitivates a sizable number of violent criminals. See this article. The left ignores and buries the problem because it conflicts with their idea of criminal psychology and there is no cure for it. It's also not necessarily caused by a bad upbringing or parenting any more than autism is.
