It is sad that you cannot make a simple observation; as you did, without being attacked by a few people jumping to conclusions. I feel sorry for you.
I've heard this before from friends and I have to agree, both with the statement that the gene pool is getting weakened as *bad* genes are allowed to be passed on and that it is not a popular statement. I'm one who would've been removed from the gene pool if it weren't for modern medicine and I take no offense at it. It's the truth.
Say, perhaps what this guy has ISN'T the mutation. Maybe the mutation is what everyone else has that causes the high LDL and cholesterol buildup and this is the original *good* genes that are either recessive or so rare that they only still show up in a few individuals. They might be looking at it backwards.
