I was born in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Paso,_Texas">El Paso&lt;/a>: I have a right to know! Parents of American kids have a right to know! Does the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution">Theory of Evolution&lt;/a> have anything to do with our &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medecine">medicines&lt;/a>? Which ones? &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_Influenza">Flu shots?&lt;/a> &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_evolution_in_cancer">Cancer treatments&lt;/a>?&lt;/p>
&lt;p> &lt;/p>
&lt;p>Medicines which are designed based on the Theory of Evolution should have a visible disclosure label. Here are two suggestions for images that might be appropriate for the &lt;strong>evolution disclosure label&lt;/strong>:
&lt;img class="alignright" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/69/Human_evolution.svg/500px-Human_evolution.svg.png" alt="Monkey to Man" width="300" height="188" />
&lt;em>(Image no longer available: Monkey Sillhouette)&lt;/em>&lt;/p>
&lt;p> &lt;/p>
&lt;p> &lt;/p>
&lt;p> &lt;/p>
&lt;p> &lt;/p>
&lt;p> &lt;/p>
&lt;p>Some medicines which are &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_medicine">based on this scientific theory&lt;/a> are described on the &lt;a href="http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/0_0_0/medicine_01">Evolution 101&lt;/a> website at the University of California at Berkeley.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Individuals not wishing to use medicines based on the Theory of Evolution should, naturally, have the right information available to select a different course of treatment. Believers in evolution will take comfort knowing their medicine is based on &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science">science&lt;/a> (… &lt;em>a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe&lt;/em>). We all have a right to know: &lt;strong>Medicines should have evolution disclosure labels.&lt;/strong>&lt;/p>
