A gene for "peace"

Where is the end? or I would like to ask when can we start a new beginning again? Mumbai massacre, more than 150 dead. It is just not an number...It is the number of families destroyed, multiples of 150 = children orphaned. What do these terrorists get by going for this killing spree? By making these families and children's life living hell, do they really go to heaven (as promised by the terrorist trainers....). Come on, can't we just live peacefully respecting the differences in religions, culture, etc. After all we have only one life.
Sometimes I get this sci-fi idea. We should artificially synthesize a gene which encodes "peace" and infect the whole mankind with this "peace" using some biological weapon. Is it possible to live and let live in harmony? Wish, it happens in my life time.....

  1. Synthesis a gene which encodes "peace": Brilliant Idea. All humans will then thave an element of Gandhi. If you could get the idea to work, I will be the first to salute you :-)

  3. Even if there was a gene called peace very soon by evolution some other genes will pop up like greed, hatred, dominance etc etc. As long as resources are limited in the world there will be no absolute peace.
