Looks like Paisley is unwell. And she just had surgery that they wont state what it was.

 

[Disgruntled Pupper]

Her face was pretty yellow in that last picture. Not as bad as Claire before she took her downwards tumble to the great Potato Patch in the Sky, but yellower than usual. I won't get to optimistic though, Paisley seems to cycle through bad health then recover pretty frequently.

It just needs to be strictly controlled and only used for terminal illness, profound disability and dementias. I feel like we should honor the person's advance directive if they don't want to be kept "alive" with dementia or severe brain damage. It's not really a state you would want to live in. You are constantly in a state of fear and confusion. You will even lose the ability to use utensils and wipe your own ass.
There was an infamous case in the Netherlands where a woman with dementia fought the doctor trying to euthanize her by putting the meds in her coffee lol. He forced her to take them and people called it murder. People who opposed euthanasia saw this as her mind had changed on the subject and her current self did not want to die, despite her advance directive.
With what I know of dementia though, some of them are just violent so I would not ascribe logical thought processes to them like that. Logical thought is eventually completely destroyed while primitive, intuitive thought processes remain intact.

I think that this might be the case Chicago Med used for an episode. I didn't realise it was based on a real case.

Like watching an octogenarian shuffling his way to the bus wearing only an shirt and an soiled diaper. Poor guy told the cops that he wanted to take the bus

Let the potato rest...

Unfortunately for Paisely, she'll probably bounce back yet again and continue her grim existence.

Also since this is the tard thread, there is childhood dementia due to genetic diseases. Around 70 different ones.

Inborn errors of metabolism

Lysosomal disorders

Mitochondrial disorders

Mucopolysaccharidoses

Peroxisomal disease

Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA)^

Leukodystrophy

It's important to recognize that it's not just an old people disease.

Heartbreaking! At 31, Rebecca Was Diagnosed with Early-Onset Alzheimer’s While Pregnant!

This update on Rebecca's story is truly tragic.

Rebecca Doig, 30 and pregnant with dementia. She has since passed away.

Don't some of those horrific fatal genetic conditions destroy kids brain functions before killing them? Shit like Tay-Sachs.

More or less. Tay Sachs is a genetic disorder mostly from inbreeding in the Ashkenazi Jews. There are carrier screenings done if you're Jewish.

Thanks to those screening programs, Tay Sachs is now very rare among Ashkenazim.

Um that's literally eugenics sweaty, very problematic... yikes!!!

Yes. Although the Amish, Cajun and French Canadian communities also have cases. One allele specific to the north shore of the St. Lawrence and the other to the south shore, regarding the French Canadian cases. That community is the south eastern Quebec side.

With the Amish, aside from Ts, it’s Angelman Syndrome, dwarfism, metabolic disorders etc.

Mt Sinai in NYC has a whole Jewish genetics dept.

 

[booklover]

The FLDS also have a very high rate of rare genetic disorders, also due to generations of inbreeding.

 

[craven rutherfordium]

The Amish, Mennonite, and Hutterite Genetic Disorder Database is fun to peruse.

ETA: hairy elbows is probably my fav from that website. https://www.omim.org/entry/139600

In weird cult diseases brought about by inbreeding, there's also fumarase deficiency, mainly known from one sect of Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints, which is recessive and causes profound retardation as well as a host of physical problems. Before they found it in this isolated village of FLDS types there had barely been over a dozen (known) cases in the world.

Incest is bad.

 

[everybody in Portugal]

Imagine being so convinced of your people's genetic superiority that you fuck it up to the point that you become inferior inbred retards instead of just fucking a black dude okay maybe not go that far but at least someone from the next village over once every few generations and retaining some genetic variance and resilience. Yeesh.


Edit to add the UK has similar problems to FDLS etc in the Pakistani population, iirc. As @AnOminous says, incest BAD, y'all

 

[CrossedTubes]

An enquiry answered by 100 randomly selected British Pakistani mothers in the postnatal wards of two hospitals in West Yorkshire showed that 55 were married to their first cousins

jfc. Null is right to hold the Bri'ish in contempt.

55% cousinfucking is huge. Is it done for inheritance reasons? The Pakistani community is pretty large in the UK, the country is small and the main urban centres with large Asian populations are only a couple of hours apart. obv, you also have the opportunity of wife shopping from the motherland. It's not a case of isolated small community and a difficulty finding a good girl of the right religion, as it might be with the Amish etc. So why saddle your kid with increased chance of tardation and only one set of great grandparents?

I find inbreeding, especially in "royalty" terms fascinating because it seems to go agiasnt common sense from an evolutionary point of view.

As a living thing that reproduces and dies, my only way of ever attaining "immortality" is to create more smol versions of me, and hope that they create more smol versions of themselves and so on.

If I have a son and a daughter, and they marry themselves, then have 2 children, I would only have 2 grandchildren. However, if I have a son and daughter, and they each go off and marry someone non related, then have 2 children, I would now have 4 grandchildren. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense how inbreeding, especially extreme cases like brother sister pairs, ever became a thing with humans, so its intresting to me when I read about it especially in ancient Egyptian royal history.

I agree. Look at the Haspburgs and Queen Victoria as well as the Romanovs. Alexis inherited hemophilia from Queen Victoria, who was a carrier. Her father was a carrier most likely. Beatrice had three kids who were carriers as well.
