Dr Peter Corry, Consultant Paediatrician at Bradford Royal Infirmary, says his hospital sees so many recessive genetic illnesses that it has become a centre of excellence for the treatment of some of them….

Birmingham Primary Care Trust estimates that one in ten of all children born to first cousin marriages in Birmingham’s large Pakistani community either dies in infancy or goes on to suffer serious disability as a result of recessive genetic disorders.

Recessive genetic illness is one of the main reasons for admission to the city’s children’s hospital.

    How dare you suggest to “change the culture”? That’s against official policy. Multi-culturalism does have a price, you know? And if that price is the health of this country’s children and part of the NHS budget, well, so be it! We cannot start asking people to renounce features of their culture simply because their children are getting ill. What’s at stake here is the cultural patrimony of humanity, no less. And that is protected by the United Nations as well! (head nodding, eyes unnaturally wide open).
