Dass wir zwei Hirnhälften mit unterschiedlichen Aufgaben besitzen, das weiß jeder. Aber dass wir auch zwei Gehirne in uns tragen, ist den wenigsten Menschen bewusst. Zwar reden alle von Bauchgefühl, doch WER da wirklich fühlt und WAS gefühlt wird, davon fehlt uns jede Vorstellung.

Vaccines and antibiotics, the mainstays of modern medicine, have not been able to conquer infectious microbes because of their amazing ability to adapt, evolve, and spread to new places. Terrorism aside, one of the greatest dangers from infectious disease we face today is from a massive outbreak of drug-resistant microbes.

Marc Sedaka stood by while he and his wife endured endless rounds of drug therapies, 16 artificial inseminations, 10 in-vitro fertilizations, three miscarriages, and finally, a gestational surrogate ("womb for rent") who carried their twin girls to term.
