I like how you put it all together. Not just DNA, but also nature, life style, etc. We can only do what we can do. Isn't it unfair that some people go smoking and drinking to the graves, living to 100, while some poor guys jog and eat vegetarian style and die before 40? Paul Mcartney's wife was one of those.
