Testosterone is a bit of madness here is the recipe of power
Being charismatic leaders is not something you can learn over time: leaders are born. He says a psychiatrist who found the roots of power: a matter of hormones and physical appearance. The latest studies on the relationship between brain power and scientific data have confirmed that the story we had already revealed: charismatic leaders are born, not made.
Of course, a proper environment favors the triumph while a series of defeats can put into crisis. But the conquest of power, the ability to manage it and the gift to enchant the crowds, are aspects that derive directly from the biological composition of the leaders. Hormones, neurotransmitters, neurons, and of course the physical aspect are biological components with up to 35% for a politician who climbs the pyramid of power.
“Individuals dominant, cruel, manipulative and persuasive – writes the ‘expert in his latest essay, Cerebro y Coder (brain and power) – are perfect for combat power, and these attributes are dependent on their neuronal circuits and by hormones. As the power struggle and requires expertise, are the androgens, the male sex hormones, to have a particular importance.
Toben said that “the connection between power and testosterone is always positive, even if it is only one ingredient of the cocktail neuronal powerful. Psychologist Inaki Piñuel goes even further: “The leaders have the same charismatic appeal of psychopaths.” For the scholar, whether in the general population is between the index of psychopaths’s 1 and 2%, among the politicians is between 5 and 10%. Like Crazy says Piñuel, leaders have the ability to enchant conceal the ‘deception and to take advantage of anymore. “

Genetic tests on eggs. First pregnancy in Italy
An Italian woman affected by the disease Charcot-Marie-Tooth will make the world a healthy child through preconception diagnosis, a technique for prenatal diagnosis is not made on the embryo (a practice forbidden by law in our country 40) but on ovulation. The woman had another child, who is now five years, also born perfectly thanks to preimplantation diagnosis in a time when our country that was not prohibited. After the approval of Law 40, however, the woman, who is currently the third month of pregnancy, had to go to Turkey to try to have a second child.
To realize the dream of the future mother were, however, the Italian biologist Francesco Fiorentino, director of the Genome Laboratory in Rome, and Ermanno Greek director of the Center of the European Hospital Capitoline assisted procreation through preconception genetic diagnosis (PCGD). The technique was illustrated on the January issue of the journal “Prenatal Diagnosis” and provides for the analysis is conducted on polar body, a cell that is produced during ovulation and can give information on the genetic heritage of women. In this way all the embryos will be healthy as obtained from egg cells do not show any anomaly.
I am already 80 couples waiting for this kind of analysis that will greatly limit the phenomenon, increasingly, the procreative tourism and that is reliable like the preimplantation genetic diagnosis conducted on embryos. However, the technique allows to detect only the presence of genetic and chromosomal abnormalities of maternal origin and remains unresolved the problem of couples infertile carriers of inherited diseases for which no hope remains contained in the amendment of Law 40. Currently you can diagnose through preconception genetic diagnosis, a number of diseases including Huntington’s disease, fragile X syndrome and the fibrosis cystic.
