About This Chapter
The chapter opens with a description of the "active fatal gene" , which is a genetic disorder that leads to heart disease. The gene is present in all men, and it is predicted that a man with the gene will die before middle school. It is also known that many people with the fatal gene have died of heart disease before they graduate from middle school, so they should get a notice from the government that they have the gene. When the government notices come, they are paired with another set of genes that are expected to produce the same type of disease. This is called a "pairing," and the two sets produce different kinds of disease, such as sickle cell anemia and multiple myeloma. The government will not be able to treat anyone with the active fatal gene because it will be known that the person has the gene, and the public will know about it.
