Title: Genomic Politics: How the Revolution in Genomic Science Is Shaping American Society

Author: Jennifer Hochschild

Narrator: Samara Naeymi

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:07:48

Language: English

Release date: 11-15-21

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Global Politics, Public Policy

Summary:

The emergence of genomic science in the last quarter century has revolutionized medicine, the justice system, and our understanding of who we are. We use genomics to determine guilt and exonerate the falsely convicted; devise new

medicines; test embryos; and discover our ethnic and national roots. One might think that, given these advances, most would favor the availability of genomic tools. Yet as Jennifer Hochschild explains in Genomic Politics, the uses of genomic

science are both politically charged and hotly contested. After all, genomics might result in bioterrorism, a demand for designer babies, or a revival of racial biology.

Political divisions around genomics do not follow the usual left-right ideological patterns that dominate most of American politics. Through four controversial innovations resulting from genomic sciencemedicines for heart disease

approved for use by only African-Americans, on the grounds of genetic distinctiveness; use of DNA evidence in the criminal justice system; the search for ones roots through genetic ancestry; and the use of genetic tests in prenatal

examsHochschild reveals how the phenomenon is polarizing America in novel ways. Advocates of genomic science argue that these applications will make life better, while opponents point out the potential for misusefrom racial profiling

to selecting out fetuses that gene tests show to have conditions like Down syndrome.

Hochschilds central message is that the divide hinges on answers to two questions: How significant are genetic factors in explaining human traits and behaviors? And what is the right balance between risk acceptance and risk

avoidance for a society grappling with innovations arising from genomic science? Experts differ among themselves about who should make decisions about governing genomics uses, and Americans as a whole trust almost no one to do so.

A deeply researched and original analysis of the politics surrounding one of the signal issues of our times, this is essential reading for anyone interested in how the genetics revolution is shaping society.

Summary:

A practical and empowering approach to the age-old quest to let go of the thoughts and feelings that block happiness, impeded change, and hinder selfacceptance

Anyone who has dipped a toe into any of the worlds spiritual traditions knows that letting go and letting be are key. But how? In this fresh, frank, and powerful guide, Peter Russell allows readers to see that the things we get hung up on are

generally not tangible problems in the present, but are instead thoughts, feelings, interpretations, beliefs, or expectations we have about them. These are not actual things; they exist only in our minds. And we can strip these no-things of their

power and let them go by making a simple change of mind. Russell boils this letting go down to remarkably easy methods of accepting, acknowledging, recognizing, and even befriending what we tend to run from. This paradoxical

practice generates peace of mind, fresh perspectives, and wisdom in action. In turbulent times like ours, this is a true power, one available to us all.
