Help for Iran's many disabled people - 14 Mar 09

The World Health Organisation says that one in every ten people in Iran is disabled. Many of them are still suffering injuries from the Iran-Iraq war over twenty years ago. The drive to look after war veterans is helping to push the government into making life easier for all those living with disabilities, and it is beginning to make a difference. Al Jazeera's Alireza Ronaghi reports.

The fact that 1/2 of marriages between Muslim couples are to first cousins doesn't help.

Here (UK) half of Pakistani marriages are to first cousins, meaning that Pakistani-Brits are 11 times as likely as White Brits to have a genetic disorder. In short prohibit inbreeding and a lot of these genetic problems will disappear.
