>There is no racism invoved to say, for example, that  
scicle-cell anemia exists only in people of African desent.   
A particular variant of hemoglobin that is found (so far)  
only in blacks is the cause. 
 
>So the point is that, to the extent the "races" still are  
not freely interbreeding (they are not, though one hopes  
those social tenets will fall) bla ...bla...bla...

Does not your rambling blather present an interesting  
suggestion when the garbage is weeded out? 
 
Yes!  Let's hurry up and interbreed so we can all have  
scicle-cell anemia.   
 
It reminds me of other liberal poison like the civil rights  
of the AIDS virus. 
 
       WHAT IS THIS GARBAGE DOING IN... sci.bio? 
 
This used to be a quite newgroup where one could keep posted  
on news of interest to biologists.  There are many other  
newsgroups where this interesting but inappropriate topic  
would be welcom.
