Re: Not the 18 OP

Possibly.

But it's natural selection. Old strains of germs die out because they can no longer find suitable hosts. It should be the same way with humans, but with medical technology the ones who would normally not live to an old age and have children of their own are doing so. It's a good thing on most levels, but genetically? No. Defective genes which wouldn't have been passed on if they were in the DNA of any other animal are surviving and replicating and causing disease in people. Which can be linked directly to the medical field.

Not living to old age =/= not having children. There are plenty of genetic diseases that only manifest once you're well into or past childbirthing/rearing years.

And a lot of those genes continue to get passed on because they don't always manifest, so you don't know who is a carrier. Which is how, you know, a lot of these genetic anamolies have managed to persist over centuries when medicine wasn't so advanced.

Actually, a lot of genetic anomalies such as schizophrenia (and unusual aggressiveness in dogs) have been passed down because they were inadvertently selected for- that is, they were linked to genes that were "positive" in the eyes of potential mates, and so passed on along with the "good" genes.
