Yep. For example, I can see a person is black/asian/whatever. And our society (well, most of it) acknowledges that to discriminate based on that is wrong. Someone can get my DNA data. Society needs to also acknowledge that discrimination based on that is also wrong.
- underlipton 2y agoWhat should terrify you is that "most of it" is highly contingent on context. "I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at _____," is a real thing. (Last week, it was "egg prices.") Never underestimate people's willingness to ruin or end your life, and the lives of those they can put in a box with you, over something that is transitory and/or fixable. Genetic discrimination is just another, perhaps more versatile, box.
