Post apocalyptic event, would you survive?

[Rubin0]

This is mostly a question about your genetics.

Let's say you were one of the lucky few that survived a giant meteor crashing into the earth. All human technology is destroyed, and all we have are our own two hands and the genetics our parent's bestowed upon up. Would you survive?

I would absolutely not survive. Without contact lenses/glasses, I am a completely useless human being. I literally can not find my way around a room if I don't have my contact lenses on and I seem to have lost my glasses. In a hunting/gathering situation I think other humans would probably have to abandon me. Not to mention, once disease hit, I would be one of the first to die off. The minute someone coughs on me, I get sick. Sad, but true facts.

Consider any medical conditions you might have that has to be regulated: Asthma, diabetes, etc.


The main point I am trying to make here, is that we are so comfortable masking our problems. We can fix almost anything that is wrong with us...things that seem to minor now, but in a situation where those things were not available, we would not survive.

Discuss.
