I just watched a fascinating show on SBS about epigenetics. It’s about your =
experiences affecting not only the next generation but also later =
generations. The show was called ‘The ghost in your genes’.
For example, the trauma from 9/11 affecting children born afterwards. The =
holocaust stress affecting grandchildren of people who were in it causing =
stress even though the grandchildren were not around at the time. In fact, =
since children were only one year old when the study was done it proved the =
stress was ot caused due to a re-telling of stories.
Famine affecting grandparents would create genetic changes in their =
grandchildren.
Toxins affecting mice causing diseases many generations later (3-4 and =
more!).
It’s all new science, but very interesting.
For women affected by 9/11 directly it only passed on a genetic message if =
the woman was in her third trimester.
If a man is affected during his puberty he would pass on the genetic =
record.
They discovered IVF can turn off certain genetic sequences which can cause =
syndromes and also pass on problems to the IVF person’s future =
generations.
