For a long time, people were afraid of various deviations from the norm. Due to the weak development of science, the resulting pathologies were explained by the intervention of evil spirits. As a result, people shunned, drove out of the city or avoided. If his pathology seemed funny, the poor man was sent to the circus for all to see.
Relatively recently, it became known that human mutations are. When scientists found a logical explanation for the various deviations, those around began to be more tolerant of the sufferers. Only somewhere at the subconscious level does distrust of such people still remain, although a genetic mutation is not a contagious disease. Just in case, many people prefer to stay away from a problem person, as he may need help at any time.
Human mutations are considered a rather rare occurrence, since changes occur only in isolated cases. Due to a small malfunction, the chromosomes can be rebuilt - and a special child is born. True, most of the serious mutations lead to fetal death in the early stages. If the child survives, then it is difficult for him, since even the development of science does not save the baby from sidelong glances. Even modern people can talk about some kind of amorphous payment for sins, although bad ecology may be to blame for the pathology.
DNA mutations can be caused by various reasons. So, scientists distinguish spontaneous and induced mutations. If a spontaneous mutation has occurred , no one is responsible for it. It just happened that there was some momentary malfunction, which affected the development of the fetus. If human mutations are caused by some specific reasons, they talk about induced changes.
Induced mutations result from exposure to radiation, chemicals, or biological factors. If a gradual change in temperature occurs, the body receives certain signals. They are fixed in the memory of the chromosome - and then passed on to subsequent generations. Such mutations are positive, but, unfortunately, there are too few of them. At the same time, it can be difficult to talk about the usefulness of certain changes, since for different people the same mutation can be good and evil.
There are also neutral mutations that do neither harm nor good. True, for humans, almost all mutations will have a negative value. Even if the changes are only superficial , the person is still in the spotlight. Of course, others will diligently pretend that they do not notice anything, but all the same, slanting glances cannot be avoided. A similar situation is observed if a person has an excessive hairline on the body or fingers or arms have partially grown together. On the one hand, such deviations are not fatal, but they are a serious cosmetic defect. On the other hand, they do not affect the state of health, but cause only psychological discomfort. If a person learns to calmly look at prying eyes, you can live normally with such mutations.
In a completely different way, physicians treat serious mutations that greatly change the whole way of life. In such cases, internal organs are damaged, the normal structure of the limbs changes, or deviations in mental development appear . Such human mutations have serious consequences for general health, are often inherited - and turn their whole lives into a struggle for survival. Others relate to this type of deviation with a slight note of disgust and sympathy, which complicates the life of sick people even more.
People should reconsider their attitude towards people with disabilities and comrades with various disabilities. You need to understand that any person has the right to his portion of respect, love and tenderness. Just do not treat such people with sympathy and undisguised pity, since this can kill them in faith in justice. Just learn to see friends and interesting interlocutors in them - and then any deviations from the norm will recede into the background.
