Am I who I am because of my DNA?
Am I who I am because of emotional encounters? Nature versus nurture is an age old debate.
I wonder if DNA dictates just my stature, diseases, and propensities; or does it play a significant part in the way I process information in the pathways of thought?
My intellect is certainly partially genetic. Thought. Reason. Ability. Is it ALL dictated by the genetic code I inherited? OR. Is there a spirit, a soul, an inner me who is able to take that which was given to me genetically, and shape it?
Am I able to become who I want to become, or must I become that which I was designed to become?
Nature or nurture?
Both I believe.
A question for a scholar, perhaps?
