Why ingesting common painkillers is like dosing yourself repeatedly with morphine -- if you have a certain set of genes. How insurance companies legally use your genetic data to predict the risk of disability for you and your children. The impact of our lives on our genes, and our genes on our lives"--Provided by publisher. Other authors:  LaPlante, Matthew D.
