Treacy: Some behaviors are "hardwired" because they confer survival
advantages on a species. E.O. Wilson notes that social species
such as bees, ants, and mankind engage in cooperative behavior
because it helps the species survive.
Social questions may raise social policy issues but if they do not
recognize that some behavior is instinctual and therefore not
suscepible to quick modification.
