Well that didn't go well did it.

The point I was making is that I think most things about us are in the genome. Which is the building block of each individual and most things like sexual desire and orientation, being a psycopath, having asthma are probably beyond our control for the most part. There are many things people wouldn't choose, they are just there. But in the case of having unacceptable urges for instance I think there is also still an element of choice about acting on the urge. Science definitely hasn't identified all the markers yet.
