Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

It's unlikely, but possible that the genetic mutation makes them immune to some devastating disease in the future. Genetics are complex.
He’s certainly less likely to die from a wild dog biting his prick off.
Sickle cell anemia is kinda like that. Carriers with one copy of the gene get resistance to malaria compared to those without it. People with two copies get the disease and are more vulnerable to Malaria than those without a copy.
