@sonikudzu eh, so much of the important stuff isn't genetic at this level, it's about the microbiome, maternal nutrition during pregnancy, etc, and i like to think that kids eating beans off the floor like in Tortilla Flat will be more robust than these hothouse specimens https://t.co/GAeV8PLdWc
@divya_venn it surprised me how strong the feeling was tbh, but it made it feel like they were all equally people? like how am i possibly supposed to choose which one of them gets to be, based on a table like this. unnerved me
@sonikudzu every time you look into their eyes you will know that they could have been another color, you will think you know which possibilities you have 'given up' for the actual child you got. sooner or later, the words "I should have picked the green-eyed one" will leave someone's lips.
