Awesome. This is a British documentary series about people with rare conditions or abilities. There's a blind artist, a kid that remembers his past life, a guy that uses echolocation, and a bunch of other people with unique attributes. Some of the distinguishments aren't so good, such as a guy with an enormous tumor, but many are quite extraordinary.
Material like this is gold to eugenics enthusiasts. Genetic dogma believes that new genes are produced by only one thing: gene mutation. The crown jewel of mutations are positively affecting mutations, which are extremely rare. One-in-a-billion maybe. These genes give people traits like extreme intelligence or physical strength, and they are somewhere out there just waiting to be found.
Then you have the people on this show, like a guy who can tolerate extreme cold or a guy that can calculate huge numbers, who appear to have some kind of genetic abnormality. Do they have a 1/1000000000 genetic mutation that gives them vastly superior abilities? Are they the founders of the genome that will take humans into the next state of evolution? I'd like to think so.
