Twin study suggests rationality and intelligence share the same genetic roots - the study suggests that being irrational, or making illogical choices, might simply be another way of measuring lower intelligence.

Ok, how we categorize "Problematic" behavior? Is "Autism" problematic behavior? Is "Schizoid" a problematic behavior? Is "Narcissicsm" a problematic behavior?

To even entertain behavioral genetic engineering to cure "problematic" behavior is more problematic than those "problematic" behavior themselves.

Generally that goes through medical boards and studies but yes people would like to be able to treat various mental disorders. Autism non functioning low function would be nice if it could be cured and allow people to live a normal full life not dependent on others for everything instead of being able to make their own choices. High level obviously doesn't matter they have autonomy friends in the spectrum. It would have been great if there was a better treatment for schizophrenia so an old friend of mine wouldn't have lost it and murdered his mother. That line you speak of is and always will exist but isn't a reason not to do the research. Is a reason for robust regulation of application of said knowledge. What do we allow testing for prior to birth and what are parents allowed to do with that information is a valid conversation, are we allowed to gain that understanding of knowledge and restricting even finding out is not a useful discussion in my opinion and only delays putting in proper safe guards.

Autism doesn't mean that you are dependent on others for everything. Only low-functioning autistics are dependent on others.

Unless you are nuanced enough to differentiate between different severities of autism when talking about Autism, I don't think should be talk about curing Autism.

People with High-functioning autism doesn't need to be cured.
