Just read an article about the connection between genius/madness. They share the same gene. Would you want to be a genius? Are you?

The link to the article was provided to me by an Answermugger. The gene they share is Neuregulin 1. It occurs in creative people but is also linked with  psychosis and depression. Seems to me it would be like playing Russian Roulette. Would you risk being a genius who descended into madness? Big gamble.
