    Abstract: "A provocative and timely case for how the science of genetics can help create a more just and equal society. In recent years, scientists like Kathryn Paige Harden have shown that DNA makes us different, in our personalities and in our health-and in ways that matter for educational and economic success in our current society. In The Genetic Lottery, Harden introduces readers to the latest genetic science, dismantling dangerous ideas about racial superiority and challenging us to grapple with what equality really means in a world where people are born different. Weaving together personal stories with scientific evidence, Harden shows why our refusal to recognize the power of DNA perpetuates the myth of meritocracy, and argues that we must acknowledge the role of genetic luck if we are ever to create a fair society.Reclaiming genetic science from the legacy of eugenics, this groundbreaking book offers a bold new vision of society where everyone thrives, regardless of how one fares in the genetic lottery"--

    Abstract: Kathryn Paige Harden informiert über den neuesten Stand der Genforschung, räumt mit gefährlichen eugenischen Vorstellungen auf und konfrontiert uns mit der Frage, was Gleichheit und Gerechtigkeit bedeuten in einer Welt, in der Menschen mit unterschiedlichen Fähigkeiten geboren werden. Sie fordert uns dazu auf, die Bedeutung des genetischen Zufalls ernst zu nehmen, wenn wir jemals versuchen sollten, eine gerechte Gesellschaft zu entwickeln. Dieses richtungsweisende Buch befreit die Genetik vom Erbe der Eugenik und präsentiert eine kühne Vision von einer Gesellschaft, in der alle Menschen erfolgreich sind unabhängig davon, wie sie in der Gen-Lotterie abschneiden
