OK.
So a cure may be imminent, as well as a possible capacity to change our genes.
What you need to do is to figure out what do you want to do with your life in case you get cured and/or have
the capacity to change your genes.
I, being a faithful Jew, will use all my energy to study Torah and observe the commandments
of Jewish law.

I don’t know that I would change much. I would need to get a job, though. Without my disability check we wouldn’t be able to afford rent.
I would get a job as a manager somewhere, or where I’m at now. Right now I can’t handle the stress, but if I get cured it’ll be no problem. Other than that, my life would be mostly the same, video games, taking care of family members.
I’d want to become an astronaut. I’m already a space cadet.

That’s a pretty vague statement.
What’s your timeline for “imminent”? And what’s your proof or evidence?

Probably in the next 1000 years because he read that from the entrails of some animals.

I think it and many other forms of I will also be “cured” soon.
It was, a few decades ago, a shameful thing to have MI. Drug abuse and alcoholism has increased the numbers and brought MI out into the light.
It was that the “slow” people and war veterns were the only ones who needed help. So many people have serious MI today from substance abuse problems that the system is clogged. There is no help for those who need it most and did not cause their own problems.
The system is breaking down and underfunded. MI will be “cured” by changing it from a medical condition to a criminal charge. Those of us who never drank , shot, snorted or smoked will be tossed into the legal machine with those who have had a hand in their own demise.
They will not seperate.
I’m studying now, and I know what I want to do. Although my dream was to be a theoretical physicist. My abilities in my studies have pointed me towards librarian. So if I got cured, I’d say I would give it my ALL to become that Theoretical Physicist. I’d finally have the mental capacity required to go for it.

I’m not holding my breath.
I am hopeful for better medication, at least. Treatment has certainly improved, and I am looking forward to it continuing to do so.
I want to get a good job, be a good wife and mother (and someday, grandmother), make friends that I see regularly. I want to go to church and actively participate. I want to really learn the Bible. I’d like to re-study the books that I learned about in college, learn Spanish and maybe Korean. I want to learn self-defense and get fit. I want to start making home cooked meals. I want to go on a real vacation. I want to retire early to spend time with my husband when he retires (he’s 13 years older than I). I want to live life to the fullest.
