Abstract
We suggest a scenario according to which the -nonconserving interactions responsible for both the generation of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe and the microscopic process of decay have a common origin at high energies. Consistency with the decoupling theorem is discussed. The general characteristics of gauge models that bring out this connection are outlined and a specific SO(10) model is discussed, where and are related.
