I've been to this site quite a few times since I first found it about 1 1/2 years ago. What about it? It's not promoting genetic engineering, only discusses the genetic component of mental/neurological disorders.

It just mentions that in the future "complex diseases like major depression and schizophrenia are to be targeted by genetic engineering." I thought the site was self explanatory to be frank. Mental illness arguably is a neurological (brain based) illness and genetics research is in the beginning stages of targeting neurological disease. That would include mental illness.
Thus there is hope for those of us with mental illness, as genetic research holds much promise for new treatments in the future.
Thats why I put it in there.
