520    "The burgeoning new science of epigenetics offers a 
       cornucopia of insights - some comforting, some 
       frightening. For example, the male fetus may be especially
       vulnerable to certain common chemicals in our environment,
       in ways that damage not only his own sperm but also the 
       sperm of his sons. And it's epigenetics that causes 
       identical twins to vary widely in their susceptibility to 
       dementia and cancer. But here's the good news: unlike 
       mutations, epigenetic effects are reversible. Indeed, 
       epigenetic engineering is the future of medicine. " -
