The moral issues of the open mind

Being able to read ones thoughts from a psychological and therapeutical stand point sounds good, especially if inroads into healing the mentally ill become successful through this procedure. But what about the moral considerations, or is there a moral issue?

The advances in science or technology or any other field has always attempted to win the race with God. For a while they might even look like they could win and discredit God, but as always man soon learns once more that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is still on the thrown.

As we learn more about what the potential of this procedure is, it will become obvious what the correct moral position will be. Christians tend to react too quickly in situations they are not familiar with. We need to be patient and wait for results and not panic. If the mind loses its privacy, then hopefully the individual’s rights will be upheld.
