The mind is very complicated, for example there 4 or 5 centers in the brain that handles eyesight. Losing one center can cause everything from complete blindness, to losing the ability to see montions, or one side of the visual field (usually the left side).
And yet.... one asks "why do this", a question seldom asked in Science (see: Hadron Collider). This is a study which removed people's nuance in morality. It is exactly that nuance which prevents us from extolling "the Greater Good".

So, this study is very disturbing.
