What If Everyone Was Albino?

Imagine how different your life would be if you had a condition that made your vision poor, being outdoors risky, and your appearance different from everyone else. Doesn’t sound easy. But for the duration of this episode, you’re going to experience what it would be like if you were albino. Would you have red eyes? How would your genes be different? Why could the Sun kill you? What exactly is albinism? Why are albinos sensitive to light? How is their melanin different? What is ocular albinism?
