About one in 5,000 male babies has hemophilia. Hemophilia is a flaw in the body's blood-clotting system that causes the blood to clot extremely slowly, or not to clot at all. The disease is inherited from a defective gene on the "x" chromosome. Author Edward Willett discusses and explores the various symptoms and treatments of hemophilia.
