Seems like a dumb question, but think about it, according to natural selection, the week must die, if only to prevent their passing their defective genes onto the next generation, if that's true, wouldn't our current medical system, aimed at increasing the lifespan of people, some with genetic disorders, keep people with "non-benifical" genes alive long enough to pass these genes on? Could this lead to an amplification of cancer and other chronic illnesses? Just a thought.
