Ah, quite right, how continent-o-centric of me. If I ever doubted the web blurred distance (!). I am sure the BBC has covered the issue ad nauseum or in the instance of cloning, ad infinitum. The point of the broadcast was that in identical twins, nature seemed to override nurture. This of course is great for advertizing because it suggests that you are not in control of your own responses, your genetic makeup is. So if we are able to manipulate you to choose our product/philosophy/football team (Manchester United uber alles!), then it must be because of your genetic makeup and we are not really responsible.
They had a lot of difficulty in dealing with differences in phenotypic expression of the genotype, which goes back to what you and I were talking about regarding learning and SSRIs.
Apologies,
