All my research has pointed to those markers being unverifiable and false. Do you have resources?<br /><br />Thanks for your comments.Mikael Aizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15369357565152061110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963265416294020913.post-26945047920010312292011-04-25T04:27:54.017-07:002011-04-25T04:27:54.017-07:00When my wife got pregnant, we had genetic testing ...When my wife got pregnant, we had genetic testing done to see if there were any "problems." If there had been "problems" we were ready to abort and try again.<br /><br />Now that four genetic markers have been identified for being gay, parents will now have the right to abort when told their child will be gay. <br /><br />This is only an example of the ethical problems coming up very fast.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342822167825729210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963265416294020913.post-29616463907642728562011-04-25T04:10:23.661-07:002011-04-25T04:10:23.661-07:00Psychology is leaning in the direction that everyt...Psychology is leaning in the direction that everything is genetic. As more is learned, everyone will eventually accept this concept. For example, when people fold the arms in front of themselves, some people place the right arm on top and other people place the left arm on top. Researchers have found a genetic marker that indicates which arm will be on top. If this simple example is true, then far more is genetic than anyone wants to accept. <br /><br />The big question is that when the murder gene is identified, can this fact be used in court to prevent the death penalty?<br /><br />By the way, four genetic markers have now been found to indicate being gay. Can companies require new employees to take a genetic text to see if they are gay before being hired? What about the Army?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342822167825729210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963265416294020913.post-42858971054822635582011-04-18T12:38:20.728-07:002011-04-18T12:38:20.728-07:00Thank you both for your comments.

I think there is a lot of controversy here and though the research is at its infancy, I'm shocked by the conclusions that are being drawn. Please feel free to share this blog with others. I'm excited to see what kind of discussions arise from this.Mikael Aizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15369357565152061110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963265416294020913.post-27871823316801632022011-04-18T12:26:07.081-07:002011-04-18T12:26:07.081-07:00i think this is a great site and can't thank y...i think this is a great site and can't thank you enough for sharing it with me michael. you have quite a gift here... not just in your writing... in what you to do help others by informing them.Susan Ludwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13355904313021875684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963265416294020913.post-60186180785681993542011-04-13T00:50:45.300-07:002011-04-13T00:50:45.300-07:00This hits home for me, as a person who often wonde...This hits home for me, as a person who often wonders about the origins of bad eating habits or the tendency to stay up all night. Am I genetically ALLOWED to change my bad habits and personality "quirks"? Or will all my efforts ultimately count for very little in the way of actual improvement? It seems any change in my life that has counted for anything has been gradual and has gone "with the grain," which is to say, it didn't violate the personality I had come to know--I have never been able to escape the self I have been living with for 27 years.<br /><br />Man, if there is an answer to this question, I would love to hear it.<br /><br />[Oops.
