I recently read an article on sickle cell anemia by Madden07. This disease is mostly found in African countries. Did you know, prior to me telling you, that the human cell is a red, round shape? Well, this disease turns them into a crescent moon shape. One out of twelve African’s have the trait. This does not mean they have the disease, but they can pass it to their offspring resulting in over 2 million having the disease now. After reading this article, I was grossed out that this disease does what it does.
