The link between SCT and increased risk of death has been documented. Is that not enough to warrant testing, as long as a link exists? Couldn't one argue that it would instead be neglectful to NOT test for this trait since we do know that such a link exists?
Do people look differently upon those afflicted with mental illness if we have a perspective grounded in an understanding that this is a genetic diagnosis? How so?
What is meant by the genetic conflict hypothesis?
