Dealing With The Realities Of Race And Ethnicity: A Bioethics-Centered Argument In Favor Of Race-Based Genetics Research (Aug. Draft), Michael J. Malinowski

Michael J. Malinowski

This article addresses the proliferation of race and ethnicity-based genetics research, which has become increasingly prevalent with the utilization of population genetics to make medical sense out of the map of the human genome. The article challenges the work of several law scholars with arguments based in bioethics, research pragmatism, and genetic science to propose that recognition of race and ethnicity is preferred in population genetics. The article concludes that proposals to stretch U.S. antidiscrimination jurisprudence to regulate away race and ethnicity in genetics research are misguided at best.
