You seem to assume that all biological anomolies have completely
controllable factors available to the living intity being affected??? Do you
think this in all cases?
I would remind you that biology makes us all as different individually as it
does the same collectively. It's important not to let the collective
"sameness" impact the individual in negitive ways. (a nice topic regarding
education...by the way)(maybe a way back to music education??)
