Fascinating programme! A group of scientists are finding evidence that stressful events (eg. exposure to chemicals, famine, 9/11) can switch genes on/off and that when this happens in pregnant women, the change can be passed on to their child, causing health problems. When they have experimented with mice, the change has been passed on through four generations. What happens to us, happens to our children's children and so on. Monica
