What happened to Mr. Dole after he had prostate surgery is similar to what happened to President Franklin D. Roosevelt after he had polio. Each suffered from an interruption of nerve conduction, resulting in a condition called paralysis. Roosevelt did not have walking dysfunction he was paralyzed. Dole does not have sexual dysfunction he is impotent. The rhetoric he spouts is not medical science, it is junk science or pseudoscience, the same junk science that gives us behavioral dysfunctions, emotional dysfunctions, mood dysfunctions, and so forth. Each dysfunction, of course, is said to be treatable, as if calling a condition treatable proved that it is a disease. 

Toxicologic Data" and the "Workshop on the Effects of Pesticides on Human Health" which was organized by the Task Force on Environmental Cancer, Heart and Lung Disease) have recommended methods and test batteries that would detect sensory, motor, autonomic, cognitive and behavioral dysfunction. 

In Part II, we consider some of the postnatal costs of those influences and examine the strong evidence that the prenatal environment is related to various behavioral dysfunctions or anomalies and to deficits in intelligence. The chapters in this part cover fetal alcohol disorders, transsexuality, developmental disabilities such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, and psychosis, as well as the emotional frameworks that give rise to a few other mental disorders. The important question of individual IQ is also addressed, including the controversies about its measurement in IQ tests (what are such tests Do their scores signify anything How is their reputed significance used ) and the extent to which the prenatal environment comes into play in the variance of IQ.
