We talk casually about genetics and inherited traits. Literal physical traits like the color of mom’s eyes, and intangibles like dad’s love of gaming. Genetics as a whole isn’t something that is confined to discussions by white coated scientists anymore. It’s in our everyday vocabulary. We ask doctors to look for inherited disease markers, and […]
