>>6640 >Gentic disorders, even minor ones, can suck pretty bad, yet having it for years and possibly knowning about it does set you up with a different mentality than a onlooker who has no close experience with a person like that. I've seen people live with far worse with a smile.
Obviously, you get to adapt yourself with the circumstances one finds himself in, just that one cannot help at thinking that life could be even more complicated because of that handicap, yet you see them with a smile and many of them appreciate and fight more for their lives than people who don't have any disease of this kind. I suppose that not many appreciate anything until they don't have it anymore.
One of the reasons why I don't want to go back to any historical period (except for the 80s-2000s) is because of this, you were sold in this department and if you lived in certain civilizations (spartans), they would kill you for having those diseases or the newborn was badly formed.
It's just that it haunts me how one can go through it and never before you could access to so much yet we still cannot offer all the mediums for preventing them. Sure, some of them have been nullified and even reversed (see the VIH) but there is still a long way to go.
