Abstract--------------------------------------------------
A debate has arisen regarding the validity of racial/ethnic categories for biomedical and genetic research. Some claim ‘no biological basis for race’ while others advocate a ‘race-neutral’ approach, using genetic clustering rather than self-identified ethnicity for human genetic categorization. We provide an epidemiologic perspective on the issue of human categorization in biomedical and genetic research that strongly supports the continued use of self-identified race and ethnicity.
Some claim and others
advocate. Shouldn't "science"
be more than dueling
claims and counter claims?
Is science just "Hardball" with
guys in long, white coats?
