The house I'm currently living in is build from steel reinforced concrete. The ceiling is 40 cm thick, as are the basement walls. It's quite an interesting place to live, if you turn off the heating it will be 16°C. Regardless of the season. Also you can make lots of noise in the basement as no one will hear anything.

Will this mutation reappear in her offspring later down the line? Genetic diseases have the nasty habit of being passed down. Will this treatment be necessary for her children as well?

Reply to Eli5: I don't understand why there seems to be a general consensus that gdp will continue a trend of growth, and why this would be beneficial, considering the cyclical nature of economies and empires rising and falling. Isn't economic downturn on some level unavoidable or even beneficial? by candymannequin
The reason growth is positive for a country is thst growth allows current work to be more valuable then past work. The work done today is more efficient, more valuable then the work done 50 years ago. This is reflected in growth. Now, try to see the opposite case. Let's say what you are doing today is less valuable then what your parents did 50 years ago. Would you be doing it? Or would you move on to do something else? This can be seen, for example, in service jobs. When a sector doesn't grow significantly enough, people will no longer want to be associated with it. They won't want to work in it (dead end job), they don't won't to invest in it (no return on investment) and they don't want to buy the products and services (same old, we allready have this, it's becoming boring) which leads to the sector declining steadily.
