Monkey love
Harlow was a scientist who didn't like women. He had some relationship issues; therefore he didn't trust a lot of women he's with. He dedicated his time in studying monkeys and their behavior. He found that baby monkeys prefer a soft mother figure as opposed to a metal one that provided milk.
I find that this is against the moral codes because Harlow took the monkey away from its mother without its mother's consent. This experiment could cause severe neurological damage to the baby monkey and its mother, but we know that monkeys are our ancestors. Therefore, we're causing harm to our ancestors.

Preschool years
Interview on Mom:
- "Do you remember what I did during preschool years? Any vivid/happy/sad memories?"
mom: "You were cute, everyone loved you" "We got you vaccinated at the hospital when you were born" "I took you to flower festival when you were 4 with your sister"
"You also had a cactus but it wasn't properly taken care of so it died (laugh out loud moment)"
- "Any other places I went to?"
mom: "When your uncle came over from NY, we went to Rex restaurant/hotel to eat at a buffet and went swimming....you liked the corn soup with egg there" "You didn't know how to swim yet so we kinda have to guard you all the time"
"Also Vung Tau was our favorite beach place to go to, a lot of people there"
"We also went to Buddhist temple.... we bought birds and freed them, it was fun"
- "Do you have any pictures way back then?"
mom: "No, I don't really keep track of things so they might have gotten lost, but there were a few back in Vietnam"
"when you were 7, you learned to draw from your sister and the animes you watched" "we also went to karaoke to sing"
- "Did I like any shows?"
mom: "yeah, you watched several of them when your cousin went over to babysit you" "there were a few long-runs ones and some cartoons" "they were Sinbad, Noah in 21st century, Wu Zestian, Thanh Cung 13 Hoang Trieu (13 emperors), Scheherazade"
- "What did I do for fun?"
mom: "you liked us driving you around on motorcycle to stores"

Human genome, twin study, genetic testing
Genome project was completed in 2003, contributions came from Japan, France, Germany, China, and others. Project goals were to identify all 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA,
determine sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, store this information in databases, improve tools for data analysis. Imagine how many diseases can be cured from this, never before. A normal gene may be inserted into a nonspecific location within the genome to replace a nonfunctional gene. This approach is most common.
Twins:
By studying twins and siblings and their families, we can estimate how genes and environment interact to influence character, strengths, vulnerabilities and values. Beginning in 2000, the MTFS enrolled an additional 500 pairs of twins and their parents into the MCTFR.

Does parenting really matter?
parents expect you to do certain things or behaviors that please them. They want you to make the right decisions as in not smoking, so even if kids want to smoke, they can't because they have to listen to their parents.

Race, Ethnicity Likely Affects Emotional Well-Being Of Cancer Patients, Study Finds
from Psychology / Psychiatry News From Medical News Today
Black cancer patients report having poorer physical and social well-being than their white counterparts but better emotional well-being, according to a study published in the November issue of the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, Reuters Health reports. Previous studies have indicated that blacks have poorer physical health than whites.
Sleeping In School
from Psychology / Psychiatry News From Medical News Today
Up to 10% of children starting school suffer from sleep disturbances and these may lead to poor performance or behavioral difficulties. In the current edition of Deutsches Arzteblatt International, the child and adolescent psychiatrist Gerd Lehmkuhl and his colleagues present the results of a study from Cologne, Germany. The authors have as yet interviewed 1388 children starting school and their parents from all parts of Cologne.
Nearly 5 Percent Of The US Population Suffers From Persistent Depression Or Anxiety
from Psychology / Psychiatry News From Medical News Today
Though effective treatments are available for individuals suffering from chronic depression and anxiety, very little is known about how often these treatments are used or how prevalent these conditions are among the nation's general population.
