The problem with the Amish is inbreeding. Not insomuch as they marry first cousins like Muslims, it’s just that the gene pool is so small for such a cloistered group that it becomes inevitable.

Interesting to me because my wife is from Indiana and left me with the impression her Amish neighbors were healthier. Inbreeding may exist but I am curious if this is a problem vs. the health issues we face.

As of 2024, the Amish population passed the milestone of 400,000,[14] with about 395,000 Old Order Amish living in the United States, and over 6,000 in Canada: a population that is rapidly growing.[15] Amish church groups seek to maintain a degree of separation from the non-Amish world. Non-Amish people are generally referred to as “English” by the Amish, and outside influences are often described as “worldly”

Amish populations have higher incidences of particular conditions, including dwarfism,[124] Angelman syndrome,[125] and various metabolic disorders,[126] as well as an unusual distribution of blood types.[127][further explanation needed] The Amish represent a collection of different demes or genetically closed communities.[128] Although the Amish do not have higher incidence of genetic disorders than the general population,[3] since almost all Amish descend from a few hundred 18th-century founders, some recessive conditions are more prevalent (an example of the founder effect).[129][130][131] Some of these disorders are rare or unique, and are serious enough to increase the mortality rate among Amish children. The Amish are aware of the advantages of exogamy, but for religious reasons, marry only within their communities.[132] The majority of Amish accept these as Gottes Wille (God’s will); they reject the use of preventive genetic tests prior to marriage and genetic testing of unborn children to discover genetic disorders. When children are born with a disorder, they are accepted into the community and tasked with chores within their ability.[133] However, Amish are willing to participate in studies of genetic diseases.[131] Their extensive family histories are useful to researchers investigating diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and macular degeneration.[citation needed]

Amish mortality patterns were not systematically higher or lower than those of the non-Amish, but differed by age, sex, and cause.

I lived and worked in and around Holmes county Ohio for a lot of years. It was highest Amish, now it’s second highest.

There were certain genetic issues that only occurred in the Amish. Again, not from first cousin, but from a small population.

I knew a lot of Amish dudes who hit 18 and are non-Amish until they marry back into the Church. Lots and lots of Millers and Yoders :wink:

They were the drivers, owned the cars and were “English” until they found themselves a nice plain Amish woman to marry back into the church.

One condition was related to just seriously looking sickly all the time. I have no idea what that was but those dudes were not healthy looking. I think it was a melatonin issue or something. Sunburn happened super fast.

I worked for a Medical doctor when I lived in Ohio and sometimes the Amish would come by and Doc always just said “They have a genetic condition”. No idea, because I never asked what it was.

Nothing says trust like preemptive immunity from all liability.

BREAKING: Per a German investigative report, Germany’s foreign intelligence agency determined with 80%-95% certainty in 2020 that the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic originated at the Wuhan Lab in China, but kept the information “under lock and key.”

Why did so many intelligence agencies hide what we all knew to be true?
