Industrious Dad Finds the Genetic Culprit To His Daughters Mysterious Disease
First time accepted submitter bmahersciwriter writes "Hugh Rienhoff has searched for more than a decade for the cause of a mysterious constellation of clinical features in his daugther Bea: skinny legs, curled fingers and always the specter that she might have a high risk of cardiovascular complications. He even bought second hand lab equipment to prepare some of her genes for sequencing in his basement. Now, he has an answer."
reminds me of that dude that created the t-virus to cure his daughter... and instead created... Milla Jovovich... fucking genius!
I just like the idea of a villain who goes around infecting alternative medicine advocates with terrible but treatable diseases, forcing them to either demonstrate their lack of confidence by seeking conventional medical help or demonstrate how ineffective their quackery is by depending upon it and dying.
Searching for "fluoride and elvis" leads to 2,500,000+ web pages, so I'd be much more worried about fluoridated water driving me to wear jumpsuits than about birth defects.
