Hi Grace A. Zaccardi; Re "The hereditary form almost always shows up before the person is a young adult." Nash had a son who also became a mathematician, and who also lost his mind to schizophrenia. If you've got too many math degrees and spent too much time with mathematicians (and to a lesser extent, physicists), it really gives you the creeps. I would never suggest two mathematicians having children, but maybe that's just my paranoia... One of the odd features about humans is their ability to find joy on a planet where it is obvious to everyone that life is fatal. My guess is that there is something about being too logical or realistic, in the face of the knowledge of our inevitable mortality, that makes it very difficult to maintain a race of reasoning beings. Natural selection prefers an organism with a bit of an optimistic, if not pollyannish, attitude. -- Carl
