But without mutation, we would all be the same. Every being in the world has mutations. Some are visible, some aren't. Some are good, some affect us negatively.

Do I feel that this mutation should be perpetuated? Probably not, especially after the last post stating that the mortality rate is staggering among kittens, it just doesn't seem like a good idea to perpetuate that. Then again, Hyacinth macaws have an astoundingly high chick mortality rate and I would love to see that species thrive....it's a tough call.
