It's why the military uses human-shaped targets at target-practice; for breaking down mental-barriers people have against wantomly slaughtering each-other.

I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to it than that. And if a mere human-shaped target is enough to break down mental barriers than what about FPS video games where you "shoot" targets that have actual faces, and talk!

It's the same deal here, familarity corrodes mental barriers. Barriers that are there for a reason.

That is the same argument made for banning 'violent' video games.
