The more people know about their genetics, the more they can take control of their health.
人们对自己的遗传学了解得越多,就越能掌控自己的健康。
大自然造就了人们在身体和心智的才能上如此相等,以至于尽管有时候可能会有一个人明显在身体上更强壮,或者在思维上更敏捷,但总结一切,人与人之间的差异并不是如此重大,以至于一个人可以因此而主张自己有权享受任何另一个人也可以同样主张的权益。
As a kid, I spent my summers with my grandparents on their ranch in Texas. I helped fix windmills, vaccinate cattle, and do other chores. We also watched soap operas every afternoon, especially "Days of our Lives." My grandparents belonged to a Caravan Club, a group of Airstream trailer owners who travel together around the U.S. and Canada. And every few summers, we'd join the caravan. We'd hitch up the Airstream trailer to my grandfather's car, and off we'd go, in a line with 300 other Airstream adventurers. I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked forward to these trips. On one particular trip, I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. My grandfather was driving. And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips, and I hated the smell.
