Hmmm, so Sickle Cell, Huntington's, Tay Sacs, hemohilia, etc. are all
caused by "horrible personal choices." That's interesting.

I'm with you on this one, Lynda.
I'll bet Rob is, too.
I wonder if they(James and Gene) can explain how his 15 year old
daughter made personal choices that resulted in the DNA damage that
caused her ALL.


Despite was Gene says about luck, I think some people are just lucky in
that they can live a long life *in spite of* their life choices. Most
of us can look back and say, yeah, I shouldn't have done this or
that....I shouldn't have run cross country in college..(osteo in knees),
I shouldn't have smoked (lung cancer) or I should have eaten better
(colorectal disease) or I should have flossed more (dental disease), and
granted, MUCH of disease is caused by personal choices in life, but to
say that *all* disease is human caused, well, I don't buy it. And to
denigrate gene therapy down to the level of astrology??? I don't
understand that, either.

Sadly, I think I am out of this thread as I just don't have the gumption
to argue it.
