Ultimately, some force other than science motivates those who deny that men and women differ at a level deeper than the epidermis. Human fetuses develop, grow, and differentiate into boys and girls with distinct physical traits, from reproductive characteristics, to build and facial structure—and, yes, to brain function. Male and female brains are irrefutably different: in developing fetuses, higher levels of testosterone promote not only the maturation of male genitalia but also the “masculinization” of the brain, resulting in sexually-dimorphic cerebral structures that are designed to excel in certain tasks...

Dr. David Spiegel, associate chair of the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University, hypnotizes Parkinson's sufferers during the implantation of deep-brain electrodes--a process that requires tremulous patients to remain conscious and calm. He has also coaxed children into imagining that a balloon tied to their wrist will fly them to their favorite places, a hypnotic technique that has lessened anxiety in pediatric patients undergoing bladder catheterizations.
