Study finds left-wing brain, right-wing brain

Current research suggests that liberals and conservatives literally think differently.  There are differences in how the liberal brain and conservative brain processes information, researchers say.  This raises some interesting questions for an interculturalist.  Assuming this liberal-conservative brain difference is eventually strongly confirmed, is it possible that difference among different cultural groups could be tied to differences in how their brains process information?  Is this a dangerous question to ask?  What are the implications of such a line of research?  Doesn't this smack of  scientific racism / eugenics?  Would a scientific racism/eugenics sort of argument against such research be committing a slippery slope fallacy?
