Steve was a 38 year old postal worker, very personable, and good looking who always attended our special meetings and parties. We have missed him, not knowing his fate. For some reason, although reason is not the right word, people are pretty close-minded about the nature of the mind. Most people think they control their mind and have a hard time imagining why anyone can't. Of course, they have no idea how their mind, or any mind, works, let alone what goes wrong in minds that don't work right.
Science can offer a lot of knowledge about that.
But society offers prejudice. It's an old story. For centuries, everyone believed that matter making up life somehow differed from everything else. Then in 1828 Friedrich Wohler synthesized urea from inorganic cyanates, and urea is about as organic as it gets. Urea is exactly the same, whether made in the laboratory or produced by more natural processes.
