What we assume is weakness.

I would be inclined to say "their predisposition"... grzbear

I agree, hereditary weakness is too limiting in its context.

Depending on various conditions, food etc. a "different weakness" might come to the forefront.

Also, both the words hereditary and weakness limits our thinking to specific paths.

So lets do a flip.

Trapper brings up a rather synchronicity bit of information.

Under certain near fatal, if not fatal conditions for most, his father would have a much greater chance of survival due to his "weakness" of hemochromatosis.

Is this a "weakness" or a survival mechanism brought about by forced intake of certain foods for several generations?

Going further out on a limb.

Wouldn't a physician of years back, seeing a person who had been sick for years.

A person with hemochromatosis.

Who suddenly did an amazing recovery after having a blood letting accident.

Ponder upon the idea that letting of blood is healthy.

Works for me....;-)
