I read somewhere that, on average, people have 30 mutations each - that is 30 genetic settings that are not inherited from either parent.

I personally have a rather obvious mutation - too obvious to mention and ruin my online anonimity - but it hasn't been passed onto any of my three kids (well, not visibly).

Also read or saw somewhere a theory that, as time goes on, the male chromozone weakens, and fewer and fewer males are born, eventually resulting in the death of the species.
