A whopping one of those is a university, as you indicated. I have no interest in wikipedia. Believe it or not, I can look that up for myself.

I'm sorry, but I have a hard time accepting telekinesis when reference articles mention Star Wars and X-Men and have a distinct lack of anything like peer reviewed journals.

Maybe telekinesis does not exist, but mind over matter does. Example: Stigmata the wounds were generated in the persons who experiance it, by intese belief that stigmata is caused by God. When it has been proven that the mind has influenced the cells and cell groups to act out the symptoms of stigmata. There are studies being conducted at major universities about the concept of mind over matter. This may be a natural feature for humans, which as a benifical one will be improved by evolution.
That's calle the placebo effect. Yes, it does exist, but why use that when medicines can be uded more effectively and better controlled.

By the time we are capable of such genetic engineering, why do it in the first place when technology can do it better, without the chance of us screwing something up.
