After having an impacted wisdom tooth extracted today, I want to go down on the record calling on future genealogists to screen out the genetic information which leads to the formation of these painful removables. Hopefully within a few generations the human race can erase this legacy.
Short of "gene therapy", which for the meanwhile I suppose is relegated strictly to the realm of science fiction, is the normal mode of procreation sufficient to ensure the offspring a less painful adulthood? Meaning, will it be necessary to have any genetic-screened pregnancy stem through an in vitro process or can it be accomplished au naturale?

We could just prevent people with wisdom teeth from reproducing. I, too, am an evolutionary throwback who had to have the last molars extracted, but I have not passed on my genes in the hope that my toothiness, and other defects, will fade from the gene pool.
