  1. That's what I always thought. Though I don't have sources to back it up. I did some googling and though the results implied that, I couldn't find an explicit statement.
  2. Nothing too complex. But say you have a prisoner who's been alone for a year, and then suddenly another captive is put in with them. Even if they don't know the other person very well, they might become swiftly emotionally attached - to the point where they feel that they love the new person.
  3. I'd like to know if there's a term for this specific situation. I'd google it, but I'm not sure how to phrase it so it makes sense. A person has been isolated from emotional and/or physical interaction with other people, for a long period of time. And then another random person arrives and interacts with them, and just based on that this is the first person to be a part of their life, they become infatuated - believe they've fallen in love with this person. Is this just a variation of Stockholm Syndrome? Or does it have its own name?
  4. Hi, I'm new, and I hope this is okay. I've been in a debate for a while about this, and would really like it if I could get an answer that I could understand. I'm more or less a layman with some reading, so be gentle with me. It's basically this: Is trisomy technically considered genetic mutation, or is it not? I have been saying it's not, since it's not a change in alleles, the DNA inside the extra chromosome isn't changing. The other side is that I should be more flexible with my definitions and that it's a mutation because it affects the body like a mutation, and I'm just not buying that. Help?
