ok . . so tell me more about the anti-social behavior and if you don’t have an answer, please direct the sister of identical twins to a site where I can research this further

All criminals should have pet and mri scans so we can see if they are suffering from some brain disorder and if medicines can be targetted at it

[...] I’d like to think that I have nothing in common with terrorists and criminals. Still, they have DNA just like the rest of us. If there are risk-taking genes and genes for psycho-social behavior, then they must have a disproportionately high number of genes coding for deviant behavior. I know it’s a human rights violation to conduct biological research on unwilling study participants, but maybe that could be part of their sentence. Convicted terrorists should donate their DNA for scientific research so we know what makes them tick. [...]

Oh my! VMD = doctorate in veterinary medicine? Aren’t those harder to get than PhD’s?

Yes, with 2 PhD’s and a VMD between them, they’re not exactly "typical" anything.

Maybe it was a self-preservation tactic on both their parts. They’d probably skew any study they participate in. ;P

I’m fascinated by twin studies, being married to one (my hubby is a boy-girl fraternal twin). They are as different as night and day.
