Some people are neurologically predisposed to being bad and can be a much greater challenge to parent than a normal child, but there are very few people so completely terrible that they couldn't have turned out alright with a better upbringing (which may have included therapy). Seems like pretty absurd copout regarding personal accountability. Perhaps, but you're going to have to define "person" in order to suggest something like that. If there's some confusion, I'm referring specifically to humans which is the traditional idea of "person" >_> Granted, many animals almost surely have something resembling free will but they don't have the same level of awareness as humans and they tend to have stronger instincts.
