  Many of which can also have lots of good intent. I would not blame a doctor for wanting to do genetic testing to look for specific markers.

The problem with cliques is that we get annoyed at them but we do seem to keep forgetting that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. But maybe cliques aren't good because they don't end up reminding us but instead teach us to ignore them and convince ourselves we've learned the lesson because we know the clique.
