Chapter 11 heredity

2000/04/12 Sanlian Life Weekly Author: Lao Le I saw a joke.In ancient times, an emperor had a prince, so the whole country celebrated according to the custom.One of the contents of the celebration is to reward the ministers.A pedantic veteran said modestly as usual: "Of course it is a good thing to have a prince, but I don't have any credit for being a minister, so I dare not accept the reward." The emperor was amused by the old guy, and said: "Of course I don't have any credit for you!" The meaning of the emperor is: The prince inherits my dragon species, of course it has nothing to do with you.Nowadays, no one believes in "dragon species", but almost everyone believes in heredity, that is, they believe that they can influence their own offspring.

I have heard of a couple who have been married for several years without having children.A close friend of the wife once asked why.The wife's answer was: My husband has been hiccupping recently, and we are afraid that this will give birth to a mentally handicapped child. I don't know whether there is a scientific basis for hiccups to inherit mental retardation. I just think that at most a son who is good at hiccups will be born.However, genetic theory can also be wrong.I used to have a classmate who was a real language genius.Her major is French, but her TOEFL and GRE scores are higher than those of English majors.I admired her, but then someone told me her parents are close relatives.

Fortunately, we have other theories besides this.In addition to the most conventional "prenatal education", "body rhythm" was popular a long time ago, and now people also pay great attention to the birth time of children.In order to meet the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is not unimaginable to perform a caesarean section.According to Western astrological theory, this is not unreasonable, because the position of the stars in the sky at the moment a child is born can affect his life.However, such a caesarean must be accompanied by an astronomer to check the time.Because as long as a second is missing, the astrology may change from good luck to bad luck.

It is certainly a tempting idea to connect one's own children to the celestial bodies of the universe: even if one cannot make a sun, one can feel one's participation in the changes of the universe before birth, as in all books, serious or casual. The authors all believe that they have participated to some extent in the formation of public opinion. Whether the fetus is conscious or not is still controversial in medicine.If the fetus is really conscious and wants to be a good baby, he should be born with all the clothes his parents want him to have, and jump out like Athena in armor; he should know that if his parents treat him like a musician For prenatal education, the tone of his crying has a reason to be better than those designed according to the engineer model.

I don't remember if I had a full outfit with me.I prefer to remember the emotion of a big opera star: "I often feel nervous before going on stage. At this time, I comfort myself: I am not the person who decides life and death like a surgeon. I am just an entertainer."
