Feels so good

Christian Century,  July 10, 2007  

> FEELS SO GOOD: A team of economists and psychologists at the University of Oregon have discovered that giving money to charity activates parts of the brain that have to do with the experience of pleasure. The researchers see this as evidence that there is such a thing as pure altruism--people will take actions that help others when to do so is not in their own best interests (Chicago Tribune, June 15).
