BOUNTY MUTINEER DESCENDANTS may hold key to myopia.

The article is interesting in itself, but what I found noteworthy were two items:

1} Myopia is 'short-sightedness'. I'm myopic, and I've been near-sighted for as long as I can remember. I wonder if people with hyperopia know they're now 'long-sighted' instead of far-sighted.

2) Myopia is a 'disease'. In today's world, anything short of perfection must be a disease and subject to control by our betters.
