I know enough about psychopathy specifically to know it would be interesting to try for a few hours, but longer than that it might ruin my life. My sense of empathy often gives me grief, but it serves a purpose.

Same. Some days, my sense of "this is not right, people should not do this, I should not do this" is preventing me from doing really stupid things.

Besides, what if you did something ethically bad and get away with it, and then the empathy comes back? Wouldn't you just hate yourself that you scammed an old lady of her retirement money and destroyed some poor kid's future for minor personal gain on the way home?
