56. What if it's really an "empathy gene". Are they gonna rid us of that?
:shrug:

If 43% of the population carries this gene, my guess is that it is something other or more than a depression gene and is more likely than not necessary to human survival.

I'd be exTREMELY cautious in how this "breakthrough" is interpreted and manipulated.

I'm all for relieving the symptoms of those suffering an unshakeable darkness. However, I believe it's unwise to assume such darkness arises from ONLY nature rather than a mixture of both nature and environment.
