A scientist and a social scientist discuss the power and peril of using categories to understand human differences, particularly those related to Down's Syndrome. More broadly, they ask how useful genetic analysis will be as we seek to understand complex human traits like intelligence or aggression.
The genomic revolution is unlocking opportunities and impacting our lives. PGED is bringing people together from all walks of life to discuss and shape its future. This video is part of a series of stories from some of our friends and colleagues who agreed to sit down with us and share some of their insights, experiences, and visions for the future.
Our sincere appreciation to all those who have shared their stories! Special thanks to Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Marilyn Ness and her team at Big Mouth Productions for bringing this project to life!
