ABSTRACT
In previous chapters, the use of gene therapy for medical reasons, and its possible implications have been examined. In this chapter, I focus on the role of genes in psychological and behavioral traits, in particular intelligence, learning and memory. Here the deterministic case may seem particularly strong, but not everyone finds this objectionable. Indeed, if major scientific journals like Science or Nature are to be believed, such a marriage of psychology and molecular biology is a match made in heaven.
