there clearly are genetic risks. people do differ as a function of something that's being transmitted genetically from family to family. when you look at certain family complexes, you see these multi-generational, multi-affected families where the risk is just so high for the people becoming alcohol or drug users or abusers. certainly we know that in the alcoholism area, children of alcoholics are at about a threefold risk of becoming alcoholic themselves compared to children of non-alcoholics. and appropriate controlled studies have been done with adoptees and with twins to indicate that this is a genetically determined vulnerability. there have been very elegant studies showing that, for example, if one of the pair of identical twins is a cigarette smoker, the co-twin is more likely to be a heavy drinker. and that suggests that it's the same genes that are involved in smoking and alcohol drinking just being expressed differently in different people. so this co-occurrence may represent a general vulnerability factor

proposition 37, seeks to require labeling on foods, containing genetically modified ingredients when the food, raw or processed are offered to sale to consumers in california, what is your position on this miss dillan? >> i think that it is a good idea in principle and i think that it is a good idea that the market is amplely equipped to take care of my husband and i personally shop and look for foods that are fish, for example, that is caught in california, and caught in the sustainable mat and her that is our choice and we pay more for that. at the same time, there are a lot of people who would like the choice to be able to buy those gmo, products and the labeling that is required by the proposition is very flawed in my opinion. it treats dog food in the same way as it treats food for humans. and it is defining the genetically modified in such a way that heirloom tomatoes that are a mix of old tomatoes seeds would fall under from category. while i support the idea that i would like to know personally where my food comes from we being not ignore the huge cost, and i oppose it and i

the brain isn't simply created by genetics and it's very much shaped by environment. and so my mentor john monaghan likened the problem of predicting violent people to predicting violent storms. when you think of meteorology, you think of the difficulty of classifying a hurricane and tracking a hurricane, making judgments about such complex behavior that has sort of chaotic premises underlying it, you're going to make lots of mistakes. you're going to make lots of mistakes in both directions. sometimes you're going to make a mistake when you think the storm is going to hit and it doesn't and sometimes you're going to make mistakes where you think the storm is not going to hit and it does. and i think one of the great challenges, quite frankly, for the legal system, is understanding statistics well enough to make that judgment about where you draw that line that anita was referring to about where do you want to avoid the errors. you want to avoid the errors, a category five hurricane is going to hit miami but there is only a 40% likelihood that that hurricane is going
