The 'Evil' Side of Genetics

Young people who died suddenly and inexplicably had genetic heart defects
When we think of genetic defects we think of the ones that are outwardly obvious like Downs Syndrome, or the ones that can be discovered before death and be treated like Juvenile Diabetes. We, for the most part, however, do not think of something that could sneak up on us without obvious symptoms or signs, especially at the age of 14. To know that something like that could sneak up on any one of us is a scary thought.
