I agree, we are an extremely long way away from determining which genes are cancer causing enough to allow/disallow reproduction.

Would they still be derro thieving pieces of **** if they had access to resources like everyone else? If they had the opportunity for an education? A job to develop skills and make money of their own? Are derro thieves born or made? I think they're made.. and if everyone had access to the basic necessities in life perhaps they wouldn't be much of an issue.

There is merit in that if there are genes that create geniuses, there are genes that create derros. Just like people that cheat on their partners, sometimes it's just in their nature, outside influence can only help so far.
