Why we buy what we buy

from Afternoons with Helen Farmer · host Dubai Eye 103.8

One person's diagnosis can help protect brothers, sisters, children and even cousins by prompting earlier screening and potentially life-saving treatment. Today we talk about genetics and hereditary illnesses with a geneticist and with someone who's lived this reality.  And what role do our earliest relationships play in shaping how we connect with others?   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
