And OP thinks you surviving is weakening our genetic code.

I wonder what OP’s reaction is to those new YouTube commercials for St Jude.

Perhaps.

I’ll submit creating a world where low income (which is correlated with low IQ) faces few penalties for having has many kids as they want while suppressing high income procreation has had several orders of magnitude greater impact than medical advances.

Read the whole fricking post.

I am just asking the question and I will note posters I know are in the medical profession are answering in the affirmative.

I donate to St. Jude FWIW.

My kids and their friends do all of those things.

Not overtly. Just simple awareness they don’t have the same support others may have and as a result have fewer kids (on average).

Not sure about weakening the human species but it pisses me off when I hear fat fricks say, why exercise when I can just take BP meds, or Cholesterol meds, or diabtetes meds. Something wrong? Frick exercise and eating right, I’ll just take a pill!!
