I hope one day we will, but sometimes I hope we don't in-case it drives some people to try and find a "cure" for us
I could see the right wing fundies' response to three different scenarios:
It's caused by genes? Good now they can make a drug to alter the genes.
It's caused by choice? Now we can just teach people how to make the 'right' choices.
It's caused by nurture? Now we can just teach parents to raise their kids the 'right' way.
Etc etc....
On the other hand, the scientist part of me says it's still good to know just for the mere fact of knowing in itself.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't, huh?
