NPR has a program that is aired every holiday season called Radio Lab and one of the topics covered this year is "Race." It reminded me of our conversation at last week's staff meeting about how to address the intake question regarding race. I wouldn't recommend DNA mapping to get this question right every time but you might be surprised at what the journalists have to say about race and DNA, race and medicine and whether or not you can "see" race. As Leigh alluded to in her staff meeting report on this ethical issue, it's not as easy at it seems. I have attached the link here - I would recommend listening!
