"Gold digger reporting for duty, sir."

Now it seems variations in a section of the gene coding for a vasopressin receptor in people help to determine whether men are serial commitment-phobes or devoted husbands.

Right is right and wrong is wrong. These "scientists" are just trying to justify adultery.
Can we name it the Bobbit gene?
Okey, dokey. So, now BJ’s excuse will be, “It wasn’t my fault I had sex with that woman.”
The bubba factor...
I got one! Proud of it.
Do I get a button?
Just wondering, is it far from the credit card gene women have?
Crap science.
Gonna find the “whore” gene and the “gold-digger” gene next?
I wonder why the title talks about People and the first line only mentions men and in a derogatory manner. Maybe feminists should demand some equality here.
Never has paid and I'm running out of time, money and earning capacity necessary to support it.
RS3 334’s social effects extend beyond bonding in couples. Earlier this year, the same gene section was shown to affect signalling in people’s amygdalas, linked to trust. Another study found that people with autism, which is characterised by unusual social behaviour, often have multiple copies of RS3 334
My ex-wife sure as heck didn’t have the monogamy gene.
LOL! Mine either. But the MSM would give them a pass, because you and I are EVIL! And we drove them to it!

His hands are at least as wide as Monica’s butt.
“Right is right and wrong is wrong. These “scientists” are just trying to justify adultery. “
How do you apply this historically in societies with different marriage/sexual values than 20th century American society? Right today hasn’t always been right.
I personally suspect any number of behaviors have some genetic footprint, especially those that would impact survival/ability to reproduce, and you can bet the topic of the study is directly tied to that.
Next do they come up with the crack smoking murderer gene?
Did you know he served in Vietnam?
I do wonder about the moral implications of this line of thinking. If we can identify people who are born with “serial-rapist genes” or “mass-murderer genes”, can we go ahead and imprison them to prevent harm to the citizenry? Or do we have to wait for the inevitable tragedy?
Also, can we just go ahead and genetically engineer all the undesirable traits out of everyone? Who gets to decide the undesirable traits? Always fun to throw out questions like this.
That is in the article. I’m hoping it will yield some therapy possibilities.
