Book Discussion on "The Genetic Lottery" by Kathryn Paige Harden | Genetics, Eugenics and Politics

Building on the last episode in which we discussed the pros and cons of meritocracy, we explore the main ideas of Kathryn Paige Harden's wonderful book on genetics, 'The Genetic Lottery'. In the book, the author tries to articulate a scientific and humane vision of society based on the actual science of genetics, which has an unfortunate history of being misused for narrow ideological purposes.
