One of my favorite authors, Kurt Vonnegut, wrote about Huntington's Disease in the great book, Galapagos. The main character's pending and inevitable onset of neurological wasting intrigued me. I tried to imagine what that must be like.
Since Mr. Vonnegut wrote that book, researchers have identified the gene in question that causes this disorder, and tests are now available for only a couple hundred dollars for people who are at risk. Today's New York Times, had an excellent piece on Huntington's Disease, Facing Life With a Lethal Gene.
I no longer have to imagine what it must be like to have it. The article really lays it out with the story of Ms. Moser, a young Occupational Therapist who carries the gene.
To circle this wagon back around, tonight, the National Geographic Channel is having a special called, Galapagos, "It's like no where else."
So what am I really talking about here? Evolution. It's everywhere!
Ahh, Blue-Footed Boobies!
