Comments on: What does DNA mean to you? #14 http://www.eyeondna.com/2008/07/16/what-does-dna-mean-to-you-14/ How will it change your life?

All we have is the user interface (psychology, symptoms checking) to study at the top and the chemistry at the bottom. We can also use the debugger (neuroscience, surgery, imaging) from time to time to provide some insights. We both need the top-down and bottom-up approach to understanding life and of course a bit of patience. Understanding life will indeed be much more complex than we would like it to be. But this is what makes science interesting after all. Agree on the object code there is no such thing as source code on top of DNA.

I have an aunt that was adopted when she was a baby and you would think being raised by my grandparents that she would be just like the 'natural' children but she isn't. We found her mother years later and realize just how much DNA played in who she is and not who raised her. Amazing stuff. Thanks, Celena DNA is a funny thing.
