if anyone could legitimately connect to that- then there would damnfinesure be some competition with generic knockoffs

"pure" -- evolution works because the enviroment does change, either through relocation (whales head north where sharks can't get to them-- then develope the ability to move farther north, become orcas etc) or because of the enviroment changes - ice age or otherwise
and those conditions such as hemophillia, diabetes, women who require cesarians to survive giving birth any condition that requires modern medicine to permit reproduction is counter-evolution.
imagine a post-apocolyptic society where 500 people are all in the same little bubble of escape- but have no insulin or surgical tools without modern medicine to begin with, that population would be far more likely to continue to exist because they do not have any members who require modern medicine- the tendencies died out...

is it still evolution when it is no longer utterly random?
Evolution, (as I understand it) requires that a species change randomly, some of the changes will improve the species ability to thrive in its enviroment.
since we now change the enviroment to suit us, we stop evolving. further, we enable to continuence of genetic material that is detrimental to a pure 'enviromental' survival.
humans stopped evolving a while ago.
now we are directing the destiny I'd say it's even less so.

But a couple without the chance of having X trait still can't have it... how do you think the first different colored hair ever came about? the first set of colored eyes? the first creature with an opposeable thumb? they have not zero, but the same 'cosmic ray of sunshine struck the little spermatoza at the right momment chance' that any mutation has of happening....

19 year old 'adult' women, married or not- who are pregnant?
the whole point of tracking teen pregnancy is how disadvantaged the resulting children are likely to be.
How marginally different is it really just because the mother in question is married.-when it's at age 19..
yeah.. given the choice- I'd feel far less concern about the birth to a 30 year old single mother than a 19 year old married mother
