3. Our perception and appreciation of taste, touch and
smell, sound and colour, harmony and pattern. Our capac-
ities and qualities for memory, whether for sound, sight,
number or form. Our kinds and degrees of imagination,
visualization and reason. Hence our understanding of truth
and beauty. Hence also our educability in all these respects,
or lack of it, and our capacity and choice in work and leisure.
4. The structures producing our voice; hence the pitch,
timbre and strength in which we produce it, its educability,
and the range and defects of our speech.
5. The times and patterns by which we gain and lose
our hair and teeth, our deposits of fat, and our perceptual,
intellectual, and reproductive powers.
6. Our requirements of water, salts, sugars, fats, pro-
teins and specific vitamins, of sleep, of sunlight, and of exer-
cise. And likewise the advantages and disadvantages we
derive from drugs of various kinds and amounts, whether
nicotine or alcohol, strychnine or cocaine.
7. Our susceptibility to every disease, infectious or non-
infectious that flesh is heir to. Our abilities to receive, or
coagulate, or reject, an infusion of blood or a graft of skin:
these all depending on the types and varieties of our cell
proteins.
8. And above all, or beneath all . . . our sex, whether
male or female, our sexual capacity and interest, our fer-
tility or sterility.

In all these respects our properties are limited and pre-
sribed in the fertilized egg. They are inherent in almost every
ell of our bodies. And they are carried in them from concep-
on to dissolution." (pp. 271-272).

In short, not only are babies not born alike, they vary so
greatly and in such complex ways that the differences may be
aid to be infinite.
