That seems like a strange line to draw, surely plenty of disabilities are genetic, implying bad genetics no?

- Sholmesy 5y agoSure, but it's unlikely that you would have an IQ that low, and not have a specific medical disorder that is causing some of your impairment. E.g, Down Syndrome is a chromosomal change, something that can be measured outside of a 'bad genetics'.
- nullifidian 5y agoWhat? You somehow think that if there is a named thing then it's not genetics. It's genetics both if it's a named thing, and if it's yet unnamed thing too.
- Sholmesy 5y agoMy point is that the distinction is important. Of course, named disorder or not, genetics can be the cause/have a high impact.
- Ygg2 5y agoThere is a thin line between disability and just different genetics. E.g. is it bad for a primate to have bad bite strength? What if that disability enhances their thinking ability (by both allowing their brain to expand more since the muscles holding the jaw are weaker and by forcing them to use something other than their bite strength)?
