MUTATIONS ARE HARMFUL

Copy error genetic mutations are empirically known (through billions of dollars of genetic research) to directly be the cause for both common and rare tumors and cancers (likely all cancers)-1-4; countless congenital (and other) diseases and disorders-5; disabilities (such as Autism)-6; deformities including birth defects-7 such as (Down Syndrome)-8 and diseases (such as Cystic Fibrosis)-9; and mass fetal death-10.

  7. Genetic mutations cause birth defects called congenital defects: https://www.genome.gov/genetics-glossary/Birth-Defect
  8. Birth defects are directly caused by genetic mutations: https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/birth-defects-causes-and-statistics-863/
  9. Genetic mutations are directly known to cause deformities such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease: https://www.marchofdimes.org/pregnancy/genetic-and-chromosomal-conditions.aspx
  10. Genetic mutations directly cause mass fetal death: “In the United States, major congenital malformations, affecting approximately 2% of births, are also reported to be the leading cause of infant mortality… the known contribution of genetic disorders to infant mortality will likely continue to increase.” Infant Mortality: the Contribution of Genetic Disorders.
