That is a good point. The essay was written about how DNA testing would change the mind-killing aspect of politics, but we probably should consider what effect it would have on just plain politics. Probably, if a lawyer came to the local political party and said that he was interested in running for some local regional office, and her DNA analysis said that she was likely to be a sociopath, the party would be less inclined to support him. Hopefully, DNA testing might make the quality of the candidates that reach higher levels of office a bit higher. There would probably be some benefits, but I doubt that it would help the mind-killer.
