Regarding objective measures, there will be ‘Minority Report’ style objections to actually using them in advance, even if they have high predictive power (which might be tricky as it relies on collecting good data, which seems to require the consent of the malevolent).
You could imagine scenarios where we apply objective measures to children, embryos, and/or couples who are considering having children.
This would avoid some of the free-choice problem around who takes the test, though it doesn’t really get around the Minority Report problem. Also there’d still be selection at the parent level (some would-be parents would decide to not get tested).
Interesting that we don’t do anything like this for psychopathy currently, as far as I know. (Psychopathy appears to be somewhat genetic.)
