@siege but the question is what would be the consequences of that knowledge?
Would we stretchy tissue folk with lupus... -
-Want to be cured?
-fear being 'cured'?
-Would the doc's suddenly interested in building cheap gene identifying kits be doing that for 'good' reasons? (nope)
-Cut to 150 yrs in to the future, and gene therapy available as a result of Gilead doctors experimentation, with a view to stamping out LGBT folk...
I think, on balance, it remaining folk knowledge for the time being is probably a good thing.
