    People should know that mixing the blood, so reproducing people of different species leads to a regeneration of blood. So less diseases, less health problems, etc ... This is scientificaly proved.
    Also people already knows what happens in case of co-blood relationship (like marriage between members of the same family, like marriages between cousins). You get tared children, with diseases, etc ...
    So the mixity of species is the future.
    However I don't like this. Personaly. I don't accept interbreeding. Even if it is a solution for less misfortune worldwide.

    I can't decide whether you mean mixing people of different ethnicity or actually mixing blood from two different donors together.

    Yes and no.

    It makes people more resistant to certain to certain illnesses, but at the same time, some health problems are genetic, passed through certain ethnic or social groups.

    Example: People of Amish decent have an unusually high rate of Ellis-van Creveld Syndrome, commonly known as dwarfism. If you have no Amish ancestry, your chances of having a child with EVCS is really low, but say your husband is Amish, you just raised your risk factor by quite a bit simply because of his decent.

    However, at the same time, this works in the opposite direction. If you have a kid, and he turns out fine, then marries an Amish woman, there's less a risk factor than if both of his parents were straight Amish.

    I need some Punnett Squares up in dis ****.

    TBH I think =/= makes more sense than != considering = is actually == in any place you would use !=.

    If you're gonna use =/=, just use ≠ for flips sake.

    I don't know how to type a "≠" atm and =/= would stil likely be faster (besides you couldn't use a ≠ in the place I was talking about anyways).

    They can't!!

    Fenix is a flashlight company, not an IP of Blizzzzzzzz.

    Also.

    If they care about cool haircuts, they're cool. The rest can go boil their jealous heads.
