What a crock. All this pseudo-science is just designed to reinforce the false notion that people are no more than animals. This is materialism run amok. Bunk, total bunk. Bush should defund it all and give the money to the families of soldiers killed or wounded in battle.
I agree...What a waste of taxpayer's money...Besides, the old axiom holds true in my view, and that is women fall for what they hear and men fall for what they see...
I must disagree. We are creatures with intellects and immortal souls, but we live in earthly bodies, and our higher minds are influenced by the physical. Psychobiology gives us some fascinating insights into why we sometimes behave as we do. It can be very useful, when one is subject to some emotion or temptation, to know that one is not being moved by "true love" or fate or God, but by innate biochemistry. (I know it's helped me a thousand times to be able to remind myself that my promptings were just my hormones talking to me, so I could resist them better!) In any case it is always valuable to understand ourselves better, and that is one of the functions of science. Some research may be bunk, but the money is not going to be re-assigned to the relicts of our soldiers.
