What seperates a man of conscience from a psychopath with no conscience?

Protein producing Genes.

Yes this is reductionist but it is true.

Finding which gene is respondsible for what, involves turning each one off seperately one by one and looking for what happens.

This "nonsense" research is happening as we speak.

We are not using human genes for much of this study but we use some. When certain genes are obviously the same as human genes we sometimes assume they will do the same thing in humans but they do not always do the same things. Genes producing certain proteins are modified by other gene producing proteins.

The process of protein creation is so much more complex than discovering the sequence of the human genome that they can not be equated.

What is nonsense is assuming we will ever definitively know what our actions will create.
