It turns out that the milk of human kindness is evoked by something besides mom's good example. Research by psychologists at the University at Buffalo and the University of California, Irvine, has found that at least part of the reason some people are kind and generous is because their genes nudge them toward it.

This was a very educational game, I especially enjoyed the funny questions. It was actually easy to understand with the diagram.
This article was really interesting to me. I never knew that you could be "born nice." I think it would be interesting if some people who were less nice could take some pills or other methods to improve their "niceness." Also, the part about Oxytocin was interesting because I just did a gene study and learned a bit about oxytocin. I wonder about that pill... it would really help with bullying also.
I thought this article was very fascinating. I agree with Anthony in that if there was a pill to make people nicer it would solve a lot of problems. I feel as if it is kind of weird that one person can be born nicer then another person. I wonder if when the people are babies if you can see the niceness come out or if you have to wait until they are older.
This article really intrigued me. It's interesting that people are always talking about how you should be nice, and all the time some of it really depended on your genes. It definitely would help if there were oxytocin pills or something like that that could make you nicer. Although you still would have to decide whether to take it...
