Mark A. Rothstein (University of Louisville - Institute for Bioethics, Health Policy, and Law) has posted Legal Conceptions of Equality in the Genomic Age (Law & Inequality, Vol. 25, pp. 429-463) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
This article presents a new approach to analyzing the effects of individual genetic variation on conceptions of equality. It ultimately finds the current public policy approach of ignoring individual genetic variation increasingly untenable from a theoretical, scientific, and practical standpoint. A new approach to equality based on the recognition of individual genetic variation is better calculated to achieve respect, dignity, and equality of opportunity for all individuals.
