Level 1 : “Those who kill in self defense and do not show psychopathic tendencies.” Level 2 : “Jealous lovers who, though egocentric or immature, are not psychopathic; crime passional” Level 3 : “Willing companions of killers: aberrant personality—probably impulse-ridden, with some antisocial traits” Level 4 : “Those who kill in self-defense, after extremely provocative…

There is the normal 2×2 method of predicting future scenario trends, where the futurist or model maker produces four distinctive different scenarios emphasizing a range of possibilities.

Doctors are developing artificial wombs in which embryos can grow outside a woman’s body. The work has been hailed as a breakthrough in treating the childless. Scientists have created prototypes made out of cells extracted from women’s bodies. Embryos successfully attached themselves to the walls of these laboratory wombs and began to grow.
