Does nobody else find the word mutation as applied here, to be offensive?? Its no mutation just genes.
No, I don't find it offensive, that's what variations in genes are.
Well, I could be wrong, but I thought a mutation was an unnatural change to a gene, something caused by an external source i.e. chemical, pollution etc. Please correct me if that wrong..
I thought it offensive as the implication was that they were in some way unnatural - damaged. I think that is the connotation that the word mutant – mutation has, even if its not the correct definition. (maybe I’ve been watching too much sci fi?)
yeah, too much X-men exposure.
My son is a mutant (or so I tell him, lol). He has no wisdom teeth. We don't exactly need them anymore and he was born without them.
This topic reminded me a passage from the lyrics of a Bob Marley song, War:
"Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes -
Me say war"
Marley didn't write that. It's paraphrased from a speech by Ras Tafari Makonnen (Haile Selassie):This topic reminded me a passage from the lyrics of a Bob Marley song, War:
"Until the colour of a man's skin

no, why would it be offensive? :shrug:
