They aren't supernatural they're just mistakes of nature, like autism or downs, cancer or arthritis. Our greatest biological imperative is to produce offspring and these individuals are born with a disability that makes breeding much more unlikely.

That assumes that humans can only pass on their genes by reproducing themselves.

The truth is humans are group animals and if you support your family and the children in it that's as good as having kids yourself.

i think we have an expert here who is suffering from the affliction and speaks from personal experience.

Is arthritis not natural?

Human society and culture has a few more dimensions than that.

Many people are creative without being procreative. And the fact that later siblings are more likely to be gay implies that there's a biological advantage to it, given a natural environment.
