In which cases would you most prefer such scans be made?
b. I expect that in that case we'd use it primarily to inform sentencing and parole decisions, and that might actually improve those decisions. (I'm not particularly confident that it will, though... say 30%?)
I'd actively prefer we avoid scanning in cases d and a, except perhaps as research on populations, as I don't trust us to do anything even remotely sensible with the data.
I'm not sure about c... it depends mostly on whether we have any way of intervening usefully in their subsequent development.
While b sounds useful, it's hardly the visionary project called for. I suspect Konkvistador had something broader in mind.
