No, no, one doesn't *have* to become a vegan to reduce one's risk of early death. One can do so if one chooses, but it's not the only way. If also point out that her parents ALSO have her life.

This is all a really horrible take for a physician.

There are multiple causal factors for most conditions. She greatly oversimplifies the issue.

It’s hard to overstate how atrocious her tweet is on like, every possible level. It’s like she doesn’t understand polygenic risk even a little bit. And maybe hasn’t heard about eugenics and how it’s frowned upon?

If we could scientifically and without bias demonstrate that a given breeding would with near 100% certainty result in a life that would be insufferable, is it morally obligatory to prevent it? It seems this can't be defensible, but it's difficult to articulate why.

This is a legitimate moral argument with defensible positions on both sides. I can conceive of argument about eugenics as an extension of this one, but don't think that any practice of eugenics has ever been free of pseudo-scientific race and culture bias or if it could be.

I've read that identical twins die, on average, ten years apart. From that, it seems like maybe genes aren't all that matters.
