It's not just that, it's also that psychopaths are the subset of people who'd do such things. How do you make them remove themselves?

By doing it before birth with genetic testing. Only 50% are socialized psychopaths. However, then we'd still have the other 50% left.

That's usually hereditary and the parents won't want such action.

Well, the majority hates autists more than narcissists and will probably approach that task first, so that people like me wouldn't exist. And it still hasn't. So this is a very remote possibility.
