The Genome and Discrimination2008 · Kevin Driver · 7 Comments » · 12:22 pm
The human genome is increasingly studied and understood. Projects out of IBM’s Computational Biology group, such as The Genographic Project powered by technology on par with BlueGene, stand to change the way we look at heredity and ancestry. With that in mind, it is important to think about the ramifications this will have on the societal aspects of our everyday lives.
It is good to know that legislation such as the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act is already making its way into the books.

which is your least favorite word: inclusive, ecumenical, universal?
do you think when i used to hang Kimi’s barbie’s from pull strings that forecasted some sort of problem, or was probably just older brother good times?
do you think that jerome genome would be a cool or lame name?
what sort of things will you do with Grandma and Grandpa when they come?

Cory, you are not following directions. I asked that all Friday Five questions be posted on the previous entry in order to not clutter up other entries with unrelated comments.
