Ya’ gotta’ have heart
even in the world of genetics.
Two stories here, linked only by the underlying science of genetics. First, from Wired News, a story about the quest to regenerate lost or damaged body-parts. In humans! Now this has been around for a bit, but it seems like they’re getting somewhere for a change. Let’s hope so. I really like the idea of being able to grow my own replacement parts instead of harvesting organs from clones. Ick.
And, another story in the “have a heart” deparment, also from Wired News, about how genetics really do determine our sexual orientation. So, let’s lighten up a little, hunh? To paraphrase Popeye, we are what we are and that’s all that we are. In any case, it’s a bit of proof that we are wired to be like we are sexually. Of course, we’re complicated creatures, so that can get diverted and changed, but, still, the basis is still there in the genes.
