Mind reading is no longer only a special ability of a fictional superhero. Some scientists have shown that it is possible to read people's mind and to know what they are thinking about. This, for some people, is terrifying. They and I think most people do, do not like others to meddle with their ultimate possession, their mind. For ethical reason, there are some secret they prefer no one should know.
Should we abandon the benefits of this major breakout in technology? Should we abandon the development of something that might be the only hope for disorder, such as autism or schizophrenia? Perhaps there is something we can do in order to allow this technology developed without too many denials. The solution is, of course, the answer to every worry that has arisen. These includes questions like "To whom this technology might be applied to?" or "What would we do if parents start to push their children in certain subject just because the "brain test" result tells so?" or "Who will pay and operate the brain map database?" or even "Will it be legal for the court to use it in trial?"(Caplan, Lou Morano, 2003)
Firstly, the technology should be applied for those in special need only, for those who suffer certain diseases, for instance. The government can help in providing rules to set a regulation about this. Secondly, as it is limited for several people only, we do not need to worry about parents being misled by brain mapping technology. Thirdly, the answer should be simple, for those who want to make a database; they have to pay by themselves. The last question, probably the most difficult question to answer, for me it sounds good to have this technology if the certainty of its result is considerably high, almost 100 percents. Otherwise, it should not be applied.
In conclusion, mind mapping technology brings many ethical considerations. To eliminate this doubt, people need to limit the usage of the technology to the degree where it cannot be misused. The government should make a limitation as a law which would assure everything goes well.

the writing aspects are already good.
however, i think that your contents are a bit lacking. the ideas are actually good but you need to include more detailed explanation or even concrete examples or support your view. moreover, because of this your essay cn be illustrated as a person with bigger head. your writing style are very contrast with Hoa whose essays looks like a very fat person.
anyway, keep up your good works and keep improving yourself!
