Genghis Khan developed the Yassa code of laws. There were a lot of laws that existed in the Yassa code, but the most significant are listed below:
- There is only one God
- All religions are to be respected and the government should show no preference to any one religion
- Under penalty of death, no man can proclaim himself to be emperor unless he has been elected by a council of Mongol Nobles
- Homosexuality is punishable by death
- Adultery is punishable by death
- Children of concubines are legitimate and should receive their fair share of heritage from their father
- No subordinate or official of the Mongol Empire is allowed to take a Mongol in as a slave. All men (with rare exceptions) must join the army
- If a soldier pillages during war before the commanding officer has given him permission, he shall be put to death. But after the permission to pillage has been given to the soldier, he shall be given the same opportunity to carry off his loot as the officer.
- Leaders of a religion (preachers, monks, etc.), physicians, and those who bathe the bodies of the dead are to be freed from public charges.
- It is illegal to cut the throats of animals that are to be slain for food. Instead, the animals are to be bound, have their chest opened, and their hearts pulled out and squeezed by the hunter.

"If one must drink, then let one drink thrice a month, for more is bad. If one gets drunk twice a month, it is better; if one gets drunk once a month, that is better still; and if one doesn't drink at all, that is the best of all." -Genghis Khan
Genghis Khan's Laws were heavily influenced by Mongol morality, and philosophy.

A gene that allows ticks to produce an antifreeze protein to resist frostbite and lower the freezing point of blood. The ticks have a protein called IAFGP that is triggered during winter months, which protects them from the cold. Mice that were injected with the protein were able to not get frostbite at subzero temperatures. They then genetically engineered the mice and breed them to have babies with the gene and they produced the antifreeze protein, IAFGP. The mice resists frostbite. One day, some humans could genetically engineer themselves with the antifreeze tick gene. That way, there's no more frostbite at subzero temperatures(below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, 0 degrees Celsius) until much lower temperatures(like 5 degrees Fahrenheit, -15 degrees Celsius or something). Eventually, the technology will be affordable to all.
Tyler: I just genetically engineered myself with the antifreeze tick gene. Now I don't have to worry about frostbite.
