To me it's a basic question.. if I had been in the exact same situation as whatever person had done whatever bad thing, would I have acted in the same way? If I had been in the same situation, having the same history (upbringing, situations of abuse, etc), would I have acted in the same way? If I had been in the same situation having the same history and having the same predispositions (DNA) would I have acted in the same way?

Sorry. Didn't explain myself clearly. I meant that even under normal circumstances, people can act inhumanely (with backing of the Milgram experiment)
