Consider the idea of the survival of the fittest. How many generations are we into the survival of less than fittest kept alive by modern medicine. I am alive today and have lived long enough to have children only because antibiotics existed. So many other are also. It makes sense to me that some rare diseases or defects would increase by a percentage because a naturally selected level of fitness in all humans is less today. I am for every effort to give every human the opportunity to survive and procreate. But there may be as a result an increase in some types of disease. Or it may be just a result of exposure to one of the thousands of new chemicals randomly spread thru society by intent or accident.
