MyGaming: Research suggests violent games alter brain functioning

Erm the same happens to people working in ER.

The more blood and guts you see the less it shocks or provoke you. If its a good or bad thing, well that part is open for debate but no one is more desensitized than ER workers and you dont see all of them going on murdering sprees so yeah.

Personally I have seen some gruesome images in RL, like people's rip cages broken open to grab a heart and help it pump by hand (Thoracotomy) or people with guts hanging out there stomachs when I was still in the military. Did it desensitized me, hell yeah, if it didn't I would not have been able to do my job, am I a mass murdered nope, hell I dont even kill snakes & spiders as I just relocate them if in my way.
 
Please. At one stage science believed the earth was the centre of the universe.
This kinda research is right up there with that kinda empiricism.
