The Utilitarianism Series explores aspects of human behavior. I chose to focus on serial killers because they often display a lack of empathy and guilt, and tend to become highly self-centered individuals. These traits are what categorize certain serial killers as psychopaths. Interestingly, serial killers frequently wear a metaphorical \u201cmask of sanity\u201d to conceal their true psychopathic nature and can come across as normal and even charming. It\u2019s fascinating to see how these behaviors, which we sometimes conceal within ourselves, are reflected in such extreme cases.

In 1990 #Texas, USA, a runaway teenage girl was kidnapped, tortured, and killed. She was terrified and made to pose in front of and inside an old barn before her murder by a serial killer. She was 14.<\/p>\n
