The inability, or unwillingness, of some to be able to handle information responsibly, though, is not a very strong argument from avoiding tackling difficult issues.
This presents us with a real challenge, as now considerable effort in medical research is going towards targeting solutions to some health problems by using genetics.
There are all sorts of medical research presentations that still use the word “race”, even though anthropologists point out that is a flawed approach.
The accurate term is “shared ancestral population”, but that is mouthful and hard to convey to the general audience.
