Because that's not how genetics work. Sperm and eggs are generated from a completely different process. The only way they could have passed on genetic damage would be if the "processing plants" were themselves damaged. Even then, girls would have a lesser chance of expressing damage in the first generation than boys (this is why most colorblind people are men).
