That's not how it works, I'm pretty sure... Mutations will have random effects and the species evolves based on characteristics being selected for based on better survivability, reproductive effectiveness, etc.

I would do everything I could to find an alternative solution and talk them down from it.

I've read your other messages and it seems that you're thoroughly convinced that this wasn't the case here. I suggest that you get a bit more context about this whole situation, as it has been a long path of trying multiple treatments and approaches, without any success. So it's not even remotely close to what you suggest here. No Futurama suicide chambers here.

That's why I said that it's rare for evolution to screw up, not that it's impossible.

I've made a lot of comments but few of them have been about the details of this specific case, I'm not sure which ones you're referring to.
