Abstract
The commitment to equality embodied in our political tradition…is an assertion that before this government, this system of laws and courts, all persons are to be given equal standing, and all persons must be treated with equal regard. Human genetics, in contrast, is a science of inequality—a study of human particularity and differences.Thomas H. Murray (1992, 12).
