The same thing happens with IVF babies. It shakes up their epigenetics and causes a wide range of health problems which are less common in natural born populations.

People get IVF babies because they can't get normal babies. Wonder if it would happen the same if you did IVF with normally fertile people.
Do you have a source for this? My understanding is that IVF babies have more problems because you are scraping the proverbial bottom of the barrel in terms of egg (or sperm) quality to begin with.
