I think that their data and conclusion, although potentially skewed due to small sample size and low rate of diversity, is interesting in the sense that we may be able to connect genetic and environmental factors to individuals that may be suffering from mental illness and higher suicidal risk. Overall, it would be interesting to see this experiment and research be done in different geographical areas with people of different ethnicities to see if the same conclusions could be drawn.

Since suicide is such a prevalent problem in our world today, I hope that there is large amounts of research done on these genes in the future. If they could really figure out the genetic factors of suicide they could alter treatments and save many lives.Colin Drumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125051408586692450noreply@blogger.com
