serial killers rock!

For quite sometime now, I have been thinking about serial killers and their psychology.
Ponder over it - its quite an intersting topic of debate.
I feel there is nothing really wrong with them. One reason why I think this way is -coz for me, nothing is wrong. The definitions of moralities and ethics, sins and crimes are all personal perceptions after all.. I mean, there are social factors involved too.. but that doesnt seem to justify it.
Although loads of work at office has been keeping me busy big time.. I couldnt really resist the temptation of going back to finish reading an intersting article which I wikipedia-ed about serial killers.
It defines them as this :

Serial killers are individuals who have a history of multiple slayings of victims who were usually unknown to them beforehand.Their crimes are committed as a result of a compulsion that, in many but not all cases, has roots in the killer's (often dysfunctional) youth, as opposed to those who are motivated by financial gain or political motivations.

I mean, think about it! These guys are usually motivated by varieties of psychological disorders - which is not their fault! They feel inadequate, they feel worthless...and their crimes gives them the feeling of "power". And since they know, that their actions terrify the communities and even baffle the police forces, hence it adds to their sense of power.

Like most other things, this too is a "cause and effect" game. And with all my might, I believe, that this is quite an act of temerity. (although its a compulsive act for them!)

So? Do we categorize them as insane? Not quite. Since Law defines 'insanity' as a state where you cannot differentiate between good and bad.
yes.. "good" and "bad"... what crap!!
serial killers arent insane. infact they are motivated by hallucinations and/or voices in their head. There are a couple of intersting incidents I read about..

• There was this guy, who slaughtered 13 people after voices told him that murder was necessary to prevent California from suffering an earthquake.
• there are certain others, who believe they are getting rid of a certain type of people (often prostitutes or members of a certain ethnic group).
  
• then there are the "hedonistics" - who kill for the sheer pleasure of it. they have a surge of excitement - that might be related to cannibalism with the dead body, or sexual desires or some simply enjoy the 'chase' of hunting down the victim..
  

I am forced to think that how does our society accept the concept of capital punishment, but dismisses a murder as a heinous crime??
In both cases, there is "someone" who believes that "something" is incorrect.
The judge in the former, the murderer in the latter.

And the irony! While capital punishment is supposed to be an activity in social favour.. euthanasia is against the law. WTF!

These have been debatable issues - either on the basis of moralities, or religious preachings or social and human rights. Whatever its been... is hard to justify - coz they are mere perceptions...
