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.

People like to pretend we are the one animal not behaviorally influenced by our genetics but we are, we know behavior traits can be selected for in various species the problem is a matter of a choice and we as a people need to choose not to engage in legally enforced Eugenics in people while still acknowledging reality that we don't know what we don't know and allowing research to proceed so we can perhaps still find treatments for problematic behaviors that may have a genetic or epigenetic component.

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.

If it's diagnosable, it probably isn't good.
They aren't license to discriminate but something to treat and, where possible, mitigate.

Everything can be diagnosable as long as you categorize it as distinct condition.

Left-Handedness is something diagnosable, but there is nothing to treat or mitigate about that condition.

"Diagnosable" as in "described in the DSM-5".
Also, "probably" as in most of the diseases and disorders therein.
No, we don't need to sterilize psychopaths, but it's fair to recognize that they're not healthy.
