b'Genetics promised us the book of life laid open. But even after the sequencing of the human genome, there\'s still a lot we don\'t know. How do people make choices based on the imperfect knowledge that genetic science provides? Today we look at a few examples of that. We hear a story about sperm donation and the perils of choosing your child\'s father out of a book. We hear a story about using genetics to make a decision about surgery. We walk into an MRI to investigate the genetic basis of personality. And a short story about cannibalistic vultures. Prepare for a show that will leave you doubled up in a helix of joy.\\n\\nProducers: Charlie Mintz, Matt Larson, Laura Chao, Angela Castellanos, Leah Bakst\\nHost: Charlie Mintz\\nFeaturing: Max McClure\\nMusic: Cults, Boomsnake, Mothlight\\n\\nMore info at:http://web.stanford.edu/group/storytelling/cgi-bin/joomla/index.php/shows/season3/199-genetics.html'
