Medication vs. Prison

Keynote speaker Dr. Ablow declares that as a society we are wasting money on sending numerous criminals to prison when instead we can be offering medical solutions and less suffering to further victims. He believes we should be injecting criminals of heinous sex crimes with Depo-Provera (or chemical castration). It would be a lifetime condition of parole; one missed injection would be punishable by a significant prison sentence. He also suggests using Antabuse on those with recurring alcohol-related offenses. Antabuse makes it impossible to metabolize alcohol normally and causes severe symptoms when alcohol is consumed. Dr. Ablow believes these methods could save taxpayers billions of dollars and drastically decrease the rates of many crimes in America.

End of Empathy

Young people today are living at a distance from reality, as though their lives are "made up." They create synthetic, "cool" Facebook versions of themselves. Keynote speaker Dr. Ablow believes that, because of this, their real failing grades don't matter, their really dismal employment prospects don't seem to register, and their broken relationships give them no pause. They have created "masks" with which to interact with the world and are therefore not moved by the pain of others that they consider actors on the World Wide Web stage.
