QUOTABLE:
The Frontiers of Medicine,
TIME, Fall 1996 Special Issue
"[Dr. Leroy Hood, chairman of the molecular biology department at
the University of Washington] predicts that it will not be the 'medical'
genes but the behavioral genes that will eventually stir the greatest public
interest. 'We now know that there are genes that predispose to risk taking,
and almost certainly there are genes that predispose to violence,' Hood
says. Such genes, and the neurotransmitters they most likely are responsible
for, he suggests, can lead eventually to drugs 'that will do away with
mental disease.'"
