Interesting, and well put, perspectives, Janie. Also, good advise on gnu's and others experiences, possibly such experiences will be better understood in the future as research progresses - and who can accurately predict where that will lead.

On one hand what makes us up is clearly our shared and individual genetic make-up on the other is our unique mix of experiences - and many (though not all) contend, to a varied degree, a third relates more closely to the yet unknown. What we are lies somewhere in that delicate mix. Fortunately, research is giving a greater understanding, though there is much more to be learned. My experiences, (and possibly my genetic make up) leaves my mind "open" to all types of new information from future research on all three aspects.
