[quote=The Fated Fallen]
I've completed the original XCOM and Terror from the Deep. Of course I am familiar with the expansion (I have played waaaaaay too much XCOM since I love the idea of the world teaming up to save themselves). I think gene mods and definitely MECs would be much more well accepted than Psionics. MECs and Genetic soldiers are humans plus mods. Psionics are born different, and can attack you in ways you can't imagine, so worthy of much more fear.

I concur. MECs should be seen as equals as they are technically tantamount to amputees. Gene therapy exists in the real world and perhaps the findings can be used to treat disease such as muscular problems and even heart disease.
