Now here's a frightening thought! Brain chemicals such as endorphins, and drugs, such as marijuana and heroin are known to have significant effects on sperm and eggs, altering the patterns of genes that are active in them. In an article published in the latest issue of the journal Bioscience Hypotheses, Dr Alberto Halabe Bucay of Research Center Halabe and Darwich, Mexico, suggested that the hormones and chemicals resulting from happiness, depression and other mental states can affect our eggs and sperm, resulting in lasting changes in our children at the time of their conception. Bucay suggests that a wide range of chemicals that our brain generates when we are in different moods could affect ‘germ cells’ (eggs and sperm), the cells that ultimately produce the next generation. Such natural chemicals could affect the way that specific genes are expressed in the germ cells, and hence how a child develops.Frightening or Enlightening??

I thought this was old...if you concieve a kid while being drunk...the baby will have some kind of brain problem probably related to the same thing. What about endorphines though, I mean the natural high?? or those don't affect eggs and sperm? I just wonder now

Interesting, but not surprising. I think there are many adaptations that havn't been discovered yet. Not that I'm putting down other views but until our country embraces evolution like everyone else, research in this direction will be continually hampered.

Not to be a naysayer but this seems a little too farfetched. Even in college level Biology classes I've never heard of this. I could imagine that brain chemicals and whatnot would effect production rates but not the actual DNA. Interesting idea though. Maybe I'll do some googling.

From the soil you stand on to who you call neighbor will have an effect. We all effect, who have you affected today?

both. using certain drugs has adverse effects on children. I have friends who suffer physically and potentially mentally because of their parents drug use.
doing drugs also effects how the child is raised, what morals they are taught to uphold, etc...that could have a noticeable effect on a child's behavior

I think it's enlightening. Conscious conception... Assess your mental state and set your intentions for having a child, don't just start poppin' 'em out!
