A Grieving Mother Who Lost Her Son to Fentanyl and an Expert Who Shares How We Prevent More Deaths

No, she didn’t ‘lose her son to fentanyl’; fentanyl isn’t a random occurrence of nature, like a typhoon or an earthquake. Her son chose to take fentanyl and did so until he died.

Evolution works whether one wants it to or not. Natural selection, like gravity, works automatically, and specializes in removing from the gene pool the weak and the stupid. Our technological has permitted the weak and stupid to survive and breed, and such a defective system merely prolongs the inevitable.
Unfortunately, evolution is not a speedy process, which means that many of us will live out our lives before the proper balance is restored. Sucks to be us.
