scientists were only slightly surprized to hear the snail say “ hi, I’m John Kerry, and have I told you that I serverd in Vietnam ?, have you also heard that soldiers there acted not unlike the hordes of ghengis khan?”

Tonsils removed? Check.
Wisdom teeth? Check. Sex gene? Check.
Race gene? Check.

Is “reincarnation” just genetic memories?

Not all that new. A lot of studies were done with planaria worms back in the 1960s.

As I recall they showed similar results and were reproducible (the studies).

“A new study strongly suggests that at least some memories are stored in genetic code, and that genetic code can act like memory soup.”

This story and the supporting research is bull crap.

The memory is not stored in the DNA, but in the consciousness that provides life to the DNA.

This is why transplant patients such as PA Governor Casey’s heart lung transplant resulted in unusual food cravings.

Memory RNA

Memory RNA is a hypothetical form of RNA that was proposed by James V. McConnell and others in the 1960s as a means of explaining how long-term memories were stored in the brain . The concept behind it was that since RNA encoded information, and since living cells could produce and modify RNA in reaction to external events, it might also be used in neurons to record stimuli.

One experiment that was purported to show a chemical basis for memory involved training planaria (flatworms) to solve an extremely simple "maze", then grinding them up and feeding them to untrained planaria to see if they would be able to learn more quickly. The experiment seemed to show such an effect, but it was later suggested that only sensitization was transferred, or that no transfer occurred and the effect was due to stress hormones in the donor. Other experiments seem to support the original findings in that some memories may be stored outside the brain.

Lol! I wonder if that would with liberals and other assorted stupid people.

I guess this is how the meaning of the term “snail mail” suddenly changed.

Since keeping the area retracted longer after a lot of zaps is the standard for considering it memory, are they sure they didn't just pass on the sensitivity of increased pain?

Enquiring minds want to know....maybe the ones getting the material just had some pre-built-in pain
