    Drag has been diagnosed with disorders that are just named after some guy, and it was boring. The kids who get told they have Sonic Hedgehog mutation are lucky. If all of our disorders had fun names, then it wouldn’t be taboo.

      A SHH mutation is generally not considered compatible with life. So it’s less the kids who’d find out, and more the parents.

        “Sonic Hedgehog killed my child” is a way better story than measles or leukemia. In terms of parents of dead children, those parents have it the best.
