Brain scan for Sharon Stone

No, she's not suffering from any fatal medical condition, but PETA, the animal rights association, has offered to fund a brain scan for the actress. Why? They want to find if her indifference towards animal rights is due to a defect in her brain!

PETA President Ingrid Newkirk has written to the movie star, suggesting her refusal to stop wearing fur and her recent ill-advised comments about the Chinese earthquake could be symptoms of an underdeveloped brain. Ingrid Newkirk is referring to Sharon's comment that the earthquake in China was their a result of their bad karma, coming to them because of the way the nation treats Tibetean refugees.

"Given that millions of people... were killed, injured, and left homeless by the recent earthquake in China, everyone was shocked to hear you dismiss the devastating effects of this disaster," the letter said. "Scientific studies suggest that the prefrontal regions of the brains of people who lack empathy might be underdeveloped. Here's our offer: Would you allow PETA to pay for a scan of the prefrontal region of your brain to determine if comments and actions that seem to demonstrate a lack of empathy are the result of a physical defect?" Wow! How generous!
