[stylist] does anyone

Sun Jan 4 00:49:35 UTC 2009

In many cases during the twentieth century, children became blind because 
they were given too much oxygen in the incubator.  There was nothing 
hereditary about it.  I also know of people who are blind because of a 
genetic illness.  Other people contract diseases that have nothing to do 
with heredity.  Judith
