Re: [asa] Altruism

I would hardly call what they describe in that article
"altruism" in anything approaching the same sense of
the term when used to describe actions such as Jesus's
crucifixion.

And just as a point, this is the first time such a
phenomena has been documented, so I would be
interested in seeing additional research on the topic
that verifies their findings and conclusions.
