00:00There's nothing I can think of in science that is more political than twin studies.

00:21These studies have been used to justify racism, classism, and Nazism, you know, many of the

00:28worst features of our society.

00:38I thought it was a Nazi experiment that they had done.

00:41They didn't give a damn for anybody.

01:49Oh, really?

01:50There's no study, no anything.

01:52It's ridiculous.

01:58And the more upsetting it gets.
