[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being a sickle cell carrier lends an advantage - it's protective against malaria (that's why lots of black people have the gene -- the gene helped carriers survive in africa for a long time). having sickle cell requires two parents, so your children will be fine (and will actually have an advantage). https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateEvolution/comments/1gfav0r/the_argument_over_sickle_cell/[/quote] I don’t know about this based on personal experience. I am a sickle cell carrier and got malaria while traveling in the DR Congo. It was severe. I had to be hospitalized. It ruined my trip. Worst time of my life.[/quote] I’m also a sickle cell carrier who somehow managed to contract malaria twice on two SEPARATE trips to two DIFFERENT African countries (Ghana & Angola). 🙄 We’re out here!! I swear I’m a malaria magnet. My kids and husband didn't contract it on either trip, thankfully.[/quote]
