TED: Is anatomy destiny? And a more perfect union....

from YT: http://www.ted.com Alice Dreger works with people at the edge of anatomy, such as conjoined twins and intersexed people. In her observation, it's often a fuzzy line between male and female, among other anatomical distinctions. Which brings up a huge question: Why do we let our anatomy determine our fate?

Very interesting talk. It's a salient point that she makes about how knowledge can undermine the confidence of our perception of the world, and in my opinion it's one of the main reasons for religion. The more we learn, the more our beliefs have to be questioned, and when our dogma is based on faith, which by definition must be unshakable, that poses a conundrum.
