Been thinking about genetics a lot lately...so is it nature or nurture?

[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 535276, member: 14557"] In those schizophrenia studies there was also quite a big difference in child probability to get a illness if they had been living together with their schizophrenic biological parent or not. So both asspects were defenetly there, nature and nurture. I think it is very possible we will never get totally clear answer to this dilemma and maybe there is not one. But I do believe, that when considering nurture it is very important to both remember all kind of environmental factors. It is not just the parents! I think that my difficult child's biological father would be seriously surprised if he ever would get to know he has a son and would meet difficult child. Would probably need to have DNA-tests made at least three times, because he wouldn't believe, that 'that kid' could be his. Or he would blame mothers bad DNA. LOL I do know that my father can't still believe I could be his kid. He is the mean SOB but also very talented and driven artist. Me, hmm... let's say not artistic and not driven. If I would be adopted he would certainly be blaming 'biological parents faulty genes any nurture can not overcome.' And I'm not in any way trying to imply that any adoptive parent in this thread is blaming 'faulty genes' for having a difficult adopted child, not at least any more than what is most likely true.
