One has to be pretty dumbed-down and filtering out good information, to believe this PR of the genetic tinkering industry. The so-called civilizational illnesses are due to junk-food and toxins, which happen to be fed to us by the same pharma-industrial complex that peddles this PR for its genetic tinkering. It is genetically impossible that illnesses like type 2 diabetes (with onset AFTER reproduction age!) and ADHD (not lethal) would suddenly increase so strongly from one generation to the next 1-3, after having been stable at very low percentages for centuries, but the genetic tinkering industry claims these illnesses are "genetic", not dietary. Regarding the industry's hand in the dumbing-down itself, see e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxAYGgEZnFY from a Harvard neuro-surgeon.
