I was just thinking about the grandmother with diabetes. Once that are no longer fertile their impact on "survival of the fittest changes". The entire story is let the best genes win. Call it a theory or whatever. Jump on a Bible and deny Darwinism. It doesnt matter. We are nothing more than genetic transport systems (with or without souls). Success leads to passing on your genes for the next generation. If you have a problem that manifests itself after you have reproduced it has little impact on survival of your genes. The only caveat is that your genetic problem may become an anchor on your children and keep them form reproducing and passing on genes.
The most successful genes are the most successfully passed on to the next generation. Call it Darwinism or whatever, but if the only food was peanut butter then anybody that could not genetically digest pnuts would die out pretty quickly. My children would prosper however.
