Beginning

Meredith: 

When I was in second grade, this girl, Missy, could cross her legs behind her head like a pretzel. And one day, her leg just popped, and then it was lying there, behind her. My mother said, "Stop crying. It was just an anterior hip dislocation." Then she said something I've never forgotten. "Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should." 

Ending

"Just because you can doesn't mean you should." It's the kind of advice a mother gives a kid. But, as my mother would be the first to tell you, she never followed it. It got her in a lot of trouble. It also won her awards. That's how records are broken, how moons are stepped on, diseases are cured by people who are willing to try. We call these people innovators, fearless, genius. We call them reckless, thoughtless, dangerous. It's hard to know which one we are. It's hard to know if what we're doing is just crazy or if it's going to change everything.
