When a person before the age of "modern medicine" say 1900 or so had a terminal illness, natural selection and the absense of a cure would cause that particular person to die prematurely, in which case, they could not pass their defect or disease on to any offspring (if they didn't have any yet).

Now, medicine has evolved to where we are keeping people with serious diseases such as depression, diabetes, asthma, etc alive with drugs.

This hits on a personal note because I have serious asthma and probably would have died before the age of 5 if there wasn't today's medicine. Now I am worried about passing that on to any children I might have, and I'm considering not having any due to this and some other conditions I have, such as degenerated discs in my back at the age of 15. I'm 28 now....

My feeling is that the reason health care costs are astronomical is because each person has more problems today because we aren't weeding out the weak or defective.

Opinions?

What is a really good way to get a six pack, pecs, biceps, triceps, deltoids, leaner legs, and all that other stuff in 2 months that i could be able to stick to and follow for 2 months or more? cause i really want to do this but im lazy at times and i really want to lose my belly before it get's huge right now its what you'd call "beer belly" but i dont want it and at 18 i dont want a "beer belly" i'd like to look in the mirror and see a six pack and be happy with it. another thing i've been reading in these questions does masturbation really tighten up your abs or not? or is it best to do it for relife after working out and for sex? i'd like more on how to get a nice bod before i go back for my senoir year than jacking off.

thanks

ps would i need a tariner for this or not?

I have gained about 40lbs in the last few months. It is a result of deep depression I am struggling with and quitting smoking. I can barely leave my house.

A very good friend of mine , after tests, was told that she may have heart problems. She is to see a heart specialist next week. Her Doctor informed her that her heart was beating slower than normal and that it occassionly missed beats. How serious is this? What are the treatments? My thoughts and prayers are with her.
