NEJM: say no to electoral genomics

Here's a NEJM commentary on the idea that presidential candidates' genetics shouldn't be used against them, a variation of the point I was making in an earlier post and its follow-up.

Hemodynamics is a blog I worked on mostly as a medical resident; I keep it up for historical interest only. Still I would keep the same description and disclaimer: This is a blog about the social world of medicine, and sometimes about other things that interest me. It is not a good place to seek medical advice. None of it should be read as medical advice.

This blog is no longer being updated.
