“Why was it important to keep doing that? Some people, usually men, talked about genetic programming, and said we couldn't deny our nature. This was supposed to be scientific. I didn't see how obeying our nature was scientific, since it was also our nature to die from smallpox and be unable to fly.” — Elif Batuman

Why was it important to keep doing that? Some people, usually men, talked about genetic programming, and said we couldn't deny our nature. This was supposed to be scientific. I didn't see how obeying our nature was scientific, since it was also our nature to die from smallpox and be unable to fly.
