It's Good the Amish are Inbred

A scientist has been using our nations most valuable genetic resource, the inbred Amish population of Pennsylvania. Seems a few hundred years of keeping the gene pool closed off, has left them with tons of genetic disorders. So, a scientist took advantage and set up shop.

He set up a clinic, in an Amish built building, to help out the little inbred childrens, and to do genetic research. The community has been very helpful, as even though they shun technology, they look at their role as helping others, which is highly encouraged by their branch of Christianity.

So far, the research has led to dozens of discoveries, as well as some cures for genetic diseases.

Even though I don't understand the Amish community, I do have a lot of respect for them. They respect other's for their differences, and offer whatever help they can. Wish more people could follow that example.

Then again, I wish that they could get that gene pool broadened a bit. That's just too nasty when you really think about it.
