Its not my fault I cheated on you - Its Genetic
DUers would you give your man/woman a shot of gene therapy to keep him/her honest? Would you take the shot yourself after you got married/committed to one person?

Scientists find rodent monogamy gene
Wednesday, June 16, 2004 Posted: 6:43 PM EDT (2243 GMT)

What would you give for a simple injection that would stop your lover from cheating?

Well, at least it works for meadow voles.

A single gene inserted into the brain can change promiscuous male rodents into faithful, monogamous partners, scientists said Wednesday.

It may not be as easy to rein in human philanderers but researchers at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center of Emory University and Atlanta's Center for Behavioral Neuroscience said their rodent results could help to explain the neurobiology of romantic love.

1. I don't need a shot to be monogamous.
I know what the words committment and trust mean.

3. Me too
I saw the article and laughed. I figure some idiot who cheats on his/her partner will use this as an excuse. (Honey, I couldn't help it, I'm genetically disposed to being unfaithful. )
