Mom always said that the key to a woman's heart was through those tender moments. Now it seems that the key to humanities heart is also within those tender moments.
We have been constantly exposed within the last few years to the ideas that humanity is on that cusp of evolutionary development, from our mutant hero's in X-Men, to Will Smith taking on genetic vampires in I Am Legend.
"In 2005, Stefansson's group at deCODE found that women with higher recombination rates had more children, suggesting that evolution has selected for molecular mechanisms that create diversity."
Wow! That's interesting. More and more I read that women are becoming a source for those natural solutions to a genetic exploration of creating the next branch outwards on the tree of Homo sapiens. It is true, super-humans are among us.
"We conclude that a small proportion of highly exposed individuals, who may have natural protective immunity to HIV-1, are resistant to HIV-1." This interpretation was found in a study done by the Department of Medical Microbiology at the University of Manitoba (Fowke et al. 1996).
There seems to be a push now towards utilizing the aspects of nature, from vegetations' chemical properties to the whole field of Biotechnology taking notes from the processes that have pushed organic life this far through earth's existence.
Of coarse, if there is anyone we should be taking notes from it should be that Mother Goddess, who as Dr. Ian Malcolm once so eloquently stated "I'm simply saying that life, uh... finds a way.".
On an ending note, even with these inclinations towards an ethical use of advanced science, with it's ability to further allow society to solve some of the most complex problems people have ever had to endure, we have this, porn on our cell phones.
