Gene Maps Lead Medicine Down the Wrong Road
In "Gene Maps Lead Medicine Down the Wrong Road," Robert Pollack critiques the focus on genetic research in medicine, arguing that it risks overshadowing more effective approaches to public health and disease prevention. Pollack warns that an overemphasis on genetic mapping and individualized medicine can divert resources from broader, community-based health initiatives that address environmental and social determinants of health. He advocates for a shift in focus toward preventive medicine and public health measures that benefit entire populations, rather than an exclusive reliance on genetic interventions.
