	The Soviet Union's research also showed that acquired characteristics 
could be inherited, and, based on using those theories in the Ukraine, 
starved to death several hundred thousand people in what is one of the 
most fertile areas of the world. Of course, they fixed the research by 
turning those people into unpersons.
