I read the article, but the video’s an hour long so I don’t know when I’ll get to that.

It’s an interesting idea, but I wish they had given a lot more detail in the article. For example, are the additction statistics higher or lower for children who were adopted at birth, as opposed to those adopted at a later age? Have these results been duplicated at other treatment centers?

It’s not that I’m disagreeing with the author. I’m just saying he or she raised questions that the article didn’t answer. These questions need to be answered before any firm conclusions can be drawn.

Maybe they were answered better in the video, but as I said, I don’t have time to watch the whole thing right now.
