[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] Dr Winters vs. his cited sources. Dr. Francis Collins..... [i]As those ancestral origins in many cases have a correlation, albeit often imprecise, with self-identified race or ethnicity, it is not strictly true that race or ethnicity has no biological connection. It must be emphasized, however, that the connection is [b]generally quite blurry[/b] because of multiple other nongenetic connotations of race, the [b]lack of defined boundaries between populations[/b] and the fact that many individuals have ancestors from multiple regions of the world. Considered in this context, it is apparent why self-identified race or ethnicity might be correlated with health status, through genetic or nongenetic surrogate relationships or a combination of the two. It is also evident that a true understanding of disease risk requires us to go well beyond [b]these weak and imperfect[/b] proxy relationships. [/i] Winters translates a weak and imperfect proxy relationship as meaning..... one and the same. More from Collins... [i]We must assess how the scientific community uses the concepts of race and ethnicity and attempt to remedy situations in which the use of such concepts is *misleading or counterproductive.*[/i] http://www.nature.com/cgi-taf/DynaPage.taf?file=/ng/journal/v36/n11s/full/ng1436.html Sounds like she's referencing you Dr. Winters. You must be pleased. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
