I don't think that psychopathy is necessarily a mental illness. I would never encourage harassment or stigma toward people with biological mental illness. Psychiatry is still trying to understand why some people are bad. Psychopathy is some attempt at a post facto analysis. Personally, I'm not convinced that a biological "bad person" gene or experience pattern exists. I think that free will exists and that some people (some with mental illness, most without, and those we call "psychopaths" being typically in the latter category) are just rotten.
