for my main disease there is a 1 in 5 million chance of someone being a carrier, and both my parents turned out to be so. I consider that kind of unlucky.

[DarkForbidden-Love]

I don't have any rare diseases like that thankfully. But I have epilepse induced by sound wich is rather unusual.

[Ducky]

Wow, that's one I've never heard of before. What sort of sounds trigger it?

[Gallagher]

Genetics have always intrigued me. I'm the tallest one in my family, including the aunts, uncles, and cousins. I'm about six feet, give or take. It's right on the line, so it varies a bit. I'm also the only blond, and the only one with blue-ish eyes... A blue-grey with hints of green, if we're being exact. I'm also the most intelligent of the lot. Nothing I can really complain about. My only hope is that whatever the hell was messed up in my bio father's head didn't get passed on. I'd rather not end up killing my family like he did. -shakes head-

I had a friend that had epilepsy. Her sister and mother both had it as well. She had minor brain damage.

Up in ur threads, killin' ur buzzez.

I'm still being tested for which sounds exactly. But while I'm working behind the scenes I have to wear special sound cancelling ear muffs because it seems that loud, repetive sounds seem to do me in.

And Galla, I hope whatever messed with my (bio)parents heads doesn't get passed on to me.

[Ducky]

I doubt that homicidal tendencies can be passed on through genetics. I'd say it has more to do with the environment you were raised in. I'm no expert though..

No buzzes being killed. you're simply adding another, and rather interesting, perspective to the conversation.

I myself wear a hearing aid thanks to a 50% loss in my right ear, and a 10% loss in the left.

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Homicidal tendicies can run in the family if it is a genetic disease that causes it. Because in some families it does happen normally the frontal cortex is the damaged area.

[Ducky]

I'm assuming they would be aware of it though, if it was something genetic?

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Probably, Ducky, but that area of genetics hasn't been researches thoughly. They also don't want to call out families with that problem as there might be a child in that family uneffected and they would be outcasted for supposedly having a disease that they actually don't have.

[Ducky]

I'm very uneducated in the field of genetics, as is probably apparent.

[Gallagher]

Right. So, considering I know jack about him, or what caused it, it wouldn't be right of me to say that the chance isn't there, because it is, even if it's extremely slim.

Aha, the hearing thing reminds me! We have the, uh... The lazy eye thing? That runs in my family, too. I had three surgeries to fix mine. Now my right isn't as strong as my left, and my depth perception suffers. -snickers- I'm not clumsy, I swear!

[DarkForbidden-Love]

I am too but I do like reading medical journals and stuff so I have an inkling of what I'm talking about. I also have a friend(Who isn't actually my friend but is my gf's friend) who is a brain surgeon, so he keeps me updated.

@Galla, I often lose half the vision in my left eye and I have no depth perception.

[Ducky]

I think my eyes may actually be my strongest sense. It was the one that was boosted due to lacking in the haring department. Most of my family ends up with glasses at a young age, and I can see better in all situations than msot people i know.

[DarkForbidden-Love]

Touch is my strongest sense. Touch and smell actually. Both of which result in many unfortunate accidents as my brain doesn't like it as I process five different strains of thought.

[Ducky]

my nose is often impaired by my condition, as it also effects the sinuses. It isn't technically a lung disease, that's just the main area of effect. Anywhere in the body that contains cillia is broken. That includes reproductive stuff...

[Gallagher]

I don't know what my strongest is, but I have good hearing anyway. Plus, my brain pretty much refuses to filter out most sounds. I can't just ignore things like that. Haven't a clue how anyone else can, either.
