dhw:They all describe extremely precise changes "inherited" by the patient from the donor. Please read the anecdotes again.-I have reread them. I had forgotten the details. They reek of species consciousness, in which Sheldrake has startling proof, and in which I believe.

> dhw; So when Shapiro talks of the "cognitive capabilities" of cells, describes even the tiniest cells as "sentient beings", and talks of "possible intelligent cellular action in evolution" he actually means cells are automatons. I have tried in vain to find out more about his religious beliefs, but so far as I can tell, his book Evolution in the 21st Century makes no mention of God preprogramming every evolutionary innovation into the first living cells. -No his book does not talk of pre-programming, and I have no idea of the religion of his birth parents. His last name is Jewish, but he may not practice it. But he describes automatic biochemical reactions.
