Help me out here. My one and only daughter was born when I was 26 years old and in svelte, trim and fit condition. The genetics I passed on to her were the best they could ever be.
In subsequent years I kind-of let down my guard, hit the smorgasbord a little too often, worked in a fairly high pressure business and never got more than 6 hours sleep a night in the last 50 years. Possible detrimental influences on my genes.
Please tell me in what way that will affect my grandchildren.
Thanks
Hey! Quit being logical!!!!
Think of it like a process not unlike a dog sniffin a newcomer mutt's tailwind.
There is much to be said to this thinking that has yet to be written but suffice it is to say, highly plausible.
It explains many things from “group think” to collapse walled off societies.
Don’t ask me this yet; I’m still trying to figure out the article... ???
If you read the article and understand about passing things on genetically, you’d realize that they’re talking about children conceived after the stress.
How would your daughter, who was conceived and born when you weren’t under stress, pass on possible genetic problems that occurred to you after her birth?
They might hate being around you.... ;-)
If you die early you’ll not influence them at all. ;-]
Please tell me in what way that will affect my grandchildren.
The point of the article was not that changes in your body after giving birth would have any effect on your descendants.
The point was that changes in your body after you were born, but BEFORE giving birth, can affect your descendants.
You’re missing the point.
This bit of ‘science’ allows them to justify telling you how to live your entire life.
There’s precious little science involved in Climate Change that stands up to the scientific method either, but they are prepared to spend trillions of dollars on it anyway.
It’s religion, not science. They even talk about climate change skeptics as ‘unbelievers’. It’s a faith.
Health care reform was about control, not about how much you spend at the doctor.
Notice there is NOBODY on either side of the aisle talking about lawyers anymore? Nothing about the cost of torts.
If you don’t have the facts, pound the law. If you don’t have the law, you pound the table until somebody changes that law.
That’s not how epigenetics works. Environmental things that you will pass on to your daughter happen to you when she was in your womb (since that’s when all of her eggs are formed). Similarly, environmental things that you will pass onto her that you got from your own mother happened to your mother when you were in the womb.
For boys, it’s things that happen to them when they are just before puberty, when sperm production is being finalized.
