Full Description

This book explores the ethical debates at the intersection of race, ethnicity, national origin, and DNA analysis, enabling readers to gain a better understanding of the human genome project and its impact on the biological sciences, medicine, and criminal justice. * Provides historical background on the human genome in the modern context of the social construction of race and ethnicity * Examines the use of overlapping racial-ethnic and geographical origin categories to situate ancestry, health risk, and criminal profiles in a stereotyped or discriminatory manner * Argues for a re-examination of genome research to avoid racialization
