he made crucial decisions that allowed genetically engineered foods to come to market then return to monsanto to become the company's vice president for public policy one hell of a sweet deal if you're monsanto what corporation would love to send one of their lawyers through one of the seas many revolving doors just long enough to rewrite regulations in their favor since his tenure policy has been to accept inadequate modified or enhanced foods without proper testing and without consumer labeling put simply it's in monsanto's interests to completely destroy organic farming and organic seeds and to create a total monopoly over the food supply the scary part is they're pretty far along with it and this stuff never hits the news why well again too many corporate interests unchecked by the free market in the democratic process thanks to news consumers having too much trust in the mainstream media the stories have been pulled before and one example a whistleblower journalist that a fox affiliate in tampa florida was prevented from a recent report on monsanto's corruption and was then fire

oh, the genetic variation needs more than two people? had a freaky three-way with the snake. [laughter] that would explain the genetic variation of james carville. [laughter] [cheers and applause] so i'm issuing a wag of my finger at evangelicalç scientists. real christians like president of southern baptist theological seminary albert mohler, know what's at stake here. >> when adam sinned, he sinned for us and it's that very sinfulness that sets up our understanding of our need for a savior. without adam, the work of christ makes no sense whatsoever. >> stephen: exactly. without one, the other can't exist. it's like how without "happy days," "joanie loves chachi" makes no sense. [laughter] why would any woman love a man named chachi?! [laughter] if there's no garden of eden, that means jesus' sacrifice doesn't fix adam's original sin, and all of his teachings make no sense whatsoever. that means i've been helping people and forgiving them for nothing! [laughter] this whole time i could have been bangin' my neighbor's wife and punching

that's genetically modified particulate that contaminate nearby fields is considered illegal trespass finally a chance of some justice on the basis of property rights if only they apply that to the gene contamination issue and we have a tort system that was worth a damn we might get some real justice from own censor what's to stop the precedent of this case can be expanded in that somewhere there's a monsanto lawyer crying into a bowl of genetically modified popcorn and drowning his sorrows with corn syrup laden soda. is there any chance that big pharma can find a way to bend the laws back in their favor and take these generics off the market can they get these patents renewed are we likely to see drug costs going up significantly in the short term for these brands before the pants expire well in the next fourteen months there are going to be a whole wave of drug patents expiring joining me now is copyright expert from the mrs institute seven can sell a sudden thanks so much for being with us tonight glad to be here adam so what was the advantage for consumers if we see intellectual p

that's a genetic disorder that causes an intolerance to gluten.o all those foods with wheat, barley, and rye were making her sick for years. until she found out. >> my main goal always is trying find gluten-free food that tastes like i remember it tasting. >> reporter: and she claims it's not as restrictive as it seems. the great thing about pasta -- >> is that you can have it if you're celiac or gluten-free. >> reporter: and that's important to you? >> so important. sono italiano. i grew up in an italian household. pasta was at our table like another family member. i like to say, instead of removing, you want to actually just replace. >> reporter: hasselbeck is a true believer in a gluten-free diet and not just for people with a genetic disorder like she has. she encourages people to try it out. >> you still have to make sure you are eating a balanced meal. but those that are adopting this for fashion or trend, they're going to probably like it. they're going to see that there are many more options than they thought. >> reporter: do you think i'd

here is me a geneticist having my own genetic origin kept entirely secret. and i-- i, once we got a bit close, when i had my children, they were ten years of age and they had a project at school, family free project. and i said welcome and talk to your grandmother and grandfather about this, something interesting, you know, to do. actually dangerous giving projects to children at school if you ask mood me. anyway they got there and my 11-year-old daughter, 10-year-old daughter took off my mother grandmother and about five minutes ler she came out white into the room, okay. and i said what's the matter, mum. and she id wl sar, e na of daughter, just asked me about my parents. that is my-- and i had never told you but i was il legitimate. and i do not kno whomy father was and i was brought up by my grandmother. actually the same thing that happened to me. and afr she said that she then said and it'true for ur father too, who was pie grandfatr. if you put all of this together, i can see are you getting confused with my family free,-- tree, the only thing to tak

it's genetic. >> stephen: it genetic. >> yes. >> stephen: so perhaps we should take like cheek scrapings of our leaders to find out if there is a mild pro sensity-- propensity. or perhaps we should have a reserve president who is perhaps not quite as balanced as the main president, and we unleash him when thing goes bad. >> that would be one idea. but i think another way to do it is just luke we have the presidential candidates release their medical records and in a matter of fact way we assess that, maybe we should learn about their psychiatric background in a matter of fact way, except that some abnormality is quite good. >> stephen: what about reagan? he handled the united states beautifully in a time of crisis going up against the soviet union, obviously the invasion of grenada, and he was perfectly normal. his idea of, you know, being wild was to put two different flavored jelly beans in his mouth at the same time. (laughter) >> stephen: do you see anything shall in reagan, was there anything in his past that would suggest the kind of creative opportunity that a mental illness might

many scientists believe we do have sex to propel our genetic information.hat a pleasurable experience? if you take a look at our closest genetic relatives, they're having sex for many different reasons. they're having sex to continue their species, like we do with our own, but also doing it for pleasure. they're doing it, a sense of cohesion, aid in cooperation. so we have the genetic side effects and the social, cultural side effects. >> do we know anything about other species, the way they get pleasure from sex the way humans do? i assume the answer would be, yes, which is why all living things seem to be driven in this way. but what does science know? >> we actually do know a lot about other animal species that are having sex for pleasure. at the museum of sex we have a wonderful exhibition called the sex lives of animals talking about all the non-reproductive sense that occurs in the animal kingdom. animals engage in every sex act humans do and beyond. they're incredibly creative. >> i want to play -- i know we've got a sound bite from the series, and c

the genetics of this tumor is probably quite complex. many different accelerats and brakes broken as it were. so getting therapy against this tumor is another problem. and then a third reason is its insidious. it's not an eyes detection test. it's not like you have a mammogram for paneatic cancer. it preants typically in stages. >> charlie: we always ask this question. what is the one question we most want to find the answer to? >> well the one question that i think is really burning right now is how one converts the weth of genetic information that's slowly coming out of these cancer genome projects into prevention mechanisms. how does one do that. the best way to engage a new bunch of chemists, make new drawings and new mechanisms by which we can find early signs so that we can prevent cancers. can we essentially create preventive mechanisms that live in a petri dish we don't launch enormous even dame logical studies until cancer comes out in the population and say oh it must have been this or smoking. in ery direction, prevention and

if her mother is italian and her father is japanese which would make her half and half the genetic defect would come to the father then things would have to happen if they grew up in california. he grew up in pasadena which means he would be inturned. things start to happen without you looking at it from the beginning when writing a story but as you develop the characters and the year and the situation and the stories a father would tell a daughter. all this came out the camps, what happened. what he hoped for. what he wished for. all the stories he tells the daughters. some of them would have to cover that interment time and a lot is what happened from my research. all that went in the book. does that answer your question? it's not that i purposely said, now i will advocate this. but if a story line covers a certain aspect of history that you tell it to the greatest truth you can. you know, you talk about the situation and if you inhabit the characters, hopefully, in the right way you try to feel hathey would feel. >> thank you. >> we started reading your book in my classroom a couple of

. >>> -- genetically modified puppies. what are you talking about? >> right. well, it is a little bit complicated but let's break it down for you here. look at that picture? isn't it amazing? well, basically they genetically modified this cute little puppy by injecting a fluorescent green gene by way of a dna fragment. basically what that means is they created it in an embryo and put it in a surrogate dog that delivered the puppy. when you put his foot under the ultra violent light it glows the green gene. why are they doing this? it's not just a pretty thing to look at. it's going to be really helpful when you're looking at the evolution of disease like parkinsons or alzheimer's. what doctors can do is inject a gene like that into a puppy and watch it's involve. that way we understand disease better. >> there you go. that's interesting. thank you, zain. you always brings us stuff of value. zain verjee in london for us. >>> lady gaga is just all over this show today. we talked about her commenting on hillary clinton's dressing. five things you can teach the co

the journal "nature" finds intelligence is not connected to one gene but, rather, a lot of small geneticariations. scientists estimate that these genetic variations account for about 50% of the differences in intelligence from one person to another. contrary to how they are marketed, it appears soy supplements do not help treat symptoms of menopause. miami researchers tested almost 250 women and found the pills did not reduce bone loss, improve sleep or ease hot flashes. doctors have been looking for alternative treatments for menopause ever since studies showed estrogen can increase the risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular problems. >>> an electronic implant that eases tremors in parkinson's patients can last for at least 10 years. the device, dbs, is implanted in the brain and the battery pack sends electricity into an area involved in motor function and that stops the tremors. the implant became popular in the late '90s but it was unclear at the time how long it would last. >>> apparently not everyone is feeling the economic pinch. mcdonald's says a key revenue gauge up 5% last mo

whether it's fish in the sea birds or it was on land the fact is it's part of evolution which is genetically driven and that we try to accommodate to environments that are somewhat different than one or currently temporal in the case of humans what space obviously we haven't of all people point for a quick spin to accommodate to space but i believe that we're genetically wired to explore it's part of our media and it has great rewards and so we're going to continue to do it. you can't stop people from doing it you know whether i look back a century ago on polar exploration. of the world people are good to me to do these things let me please a space that has great rewards we discover lots of things out there it's the best place through a steady the universe and the universe is what we're all from where i think if we want to understand ourselves and we obviously have a basic right to do that the human species and the universe is where we came from only a universal sense it's best to discover the rest of the universe from space and so i think it's inevitable that it will continue trying to do t

. >> is it genetic? >> yes. >> how much of it is genetic? >> a greater percentage than even diabetes. >> do we know what gene or genes are involved? >> the first gene that was described was called drd4.7. well, since that time, back in the late 1990s, lots of genes have been described, typically of the dopamine-type. >> what do you think are the percentage of people that might have a.d.d.? >> seven out of ten? >> are you serious? >> i would guess maybe 35% >> what percentage of the population is a.d.d.? >> if you look at a whole bunch of studies, we're somewhere in the 5% to 10% range. 10% is probably an overestimate. >> one in 25 adults have adhd. >> how prevalent is it? >> it's everywhere. this is a worldwide phenomenon. >> do a.d.d.ers have a lot of learning disorders? >> yes. >> "problems with spelling?" >> oh, yes, very much. >> do they suffer more from diarrhea? >> "i was or had trouble reversing letters." >> yes. >> okay. >> yes. that's very much. >> is it real? >> it's take it to the bank real. >> does it affect self-esteem? >> yes.
