Due to inbreeding, certain genetic weaknesses are reinforced. That leads to tragedies as babies usually die from the worst of the bad reinforcement, but that also cleans up the genetic pool, so the Amish have considerably fewer congenital tragedies than the general population.'
One bad genetic reinforcement leads to "maple syrup urine", which used to kill a lot of kids. Dr. Morton Holmes set up a clinic in Strasburg, which studies and treats the genetic problems of the Amish, and has made marked improvement in the lives and lifespans of these children. At this point, they are setting up similar clinics near other major Amish communities, and you can tell how appreciative people are at the mud sale every spring.
