For the record, HBDC has had at least 2 threads on epigenetics and/or sperm, with minimal reference to commonly accepted terms and definitions. > [@Can behavior affect our DNA](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/can-behavior-affect-our-dna/992736): > > I followed a conversation on this yesterday, and it got me to thinking of ways our behavior might be translated in someway to our genetic code we passed on… The only thing I could think of was that chemicals and hormones produced in our brain might react more with certain sperm stimulating them to have a better chance of reaching the egg. I was amazed to discover how close the relationship is between our brain and our semen. > [@DNA question](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dna-question/976658): > > What are some of the fantastic possible aspects of DNA that serious scientists suspect. Is there any evidence that the host can alter his own DNA by his behavior. Along with much additional debate in their Pit thread. As this is FQ, I do not comment on those other threads, but since there had been requests for HBDC to define how his usage differed from those of credentialed professionals in the field, I felt the existing references to his views may be helpful. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/question-about-sperm-cells/1008788)._
