Gene therapy cures monkeys of laziness

[ImmuredSoul]

I hope they don't pass a law to get "vaccinated". I like being a procrastinator. It shows my indivualism! But if I am "vaccinated" then I won't be depressed of losing my procrastination, now will I? []

Wish someone would vaccinate me.  Although, I must say this is my first summer off from my school duties since 1993 and I have been exceptionally lazy.  So lazy in fact that I really don't want to go back in a few weeks to the re-opening of school.  

Now I know what my students feel like after a summer off.  Not having to get up at any particular time and rush anywhere, not having to prepare anything in advance, reading books just for fun, playing games on the internet instead of researching and writing reports, staying out late and staying up all night just for fun.  Its like being a teenager all over again but without the mommy rules to live by.  Needless to say, I am loving it.

But I know come Labor Day Weekend, reality will slap me in the face and then I will definitely need a vaccination for laziness.

Switching off key gene turns layabout primates into keen workers.

Monkey tend to slack off just like humans.

Procrastinating primates can be turned into workaholics, thanks to gene therapy. The discovery, which sheds light on the workings of the brain's reward centre, may further our understanding of mood disorders, such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Like many humans, monkeys tend to slack off when their goal is distant, then work harder as a deadline looms. But when a key gene is turned off, the primates work hard from the word go

How long before they pass a law forcing people to get "vaccinated"...?
