What we are...
Taken from CSI Season 5 Episode 14
=======================================================
GRISSOM: A brown hair with a follicular tag. A person's entire identity balled up in a few nanograms of matter.
SOFIA: Assuming one's identity can be wholly quantified by our DNA.
GRISSOM: Well, genetically, it can. We're completely programmed as soon as the sperm hits the egg.
SOFIA: So we're defined at a cellular level?
GRISSOM: More or less.
SOFIA: No. Identity is the totality of our life experiences and our brain neurons process our relationship to the world and each other.
GRISSOM: I stand corrected. DNA is what we are, not who we are.
SOFIA: What we are never changes. Who we are never stops changing.
GRISSOM: Yeah. Whether we like it or not.
