I just watched Ghost In Your Genes and I think everyone should watch it if they aren't familiar with the concept of Systems Biology or Epigenetics. I was actually moved to tears while I watched this program.
Having watched it, it makes me wonder if there is a reason or cause for why I always feel a sense of dread/worry/caution.
Beyond that, I think it's curious what causes me to swell with emotion. The implication that events beyond peoples control, that occurred to their ancestors or were choices made by their ancestors, could alter their health, mentation, and longevity is just so heady and terrible. The flipside is, of course, that coming to understand this is wonderful and could lead to revolutionary treatments for some conditions.
