Although the New York Times never printed my letter (no hard feelings!), I thought it was about time to share it! I wrote this letter to the editor regarding the article "Fearing Punishment for Bad Genes." That article was published in the New York Times' Science Times. Of course, I highly recommend reading the article BEFORE reading my response. (LINK to the article HERE: http://nyti.ms/1e644sJ) And now ... the letter: Re “Fearing Punishment for Bad Genes,” (Section D1,): Dear Editor, With smart branding the Democratic Party could successfully own this issue, and pass legislation to cover all insurances under the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act. If only they could choose a rallying cry with a properly menacing description. I suggest the Democratic Party (or Republican Party) refer to this gross new front of genetic discrimination as “Death Screening!” Death Screening has as much rallying bite (or should I say, macabre charm) as “Death Panel” or “Death Tax,” and many times more truth to back up it’s chilling claim. Respectfully concerned, Julian Seltzer (a senior at Brandeis University) Guess this pic's "futuristic" enough to thematically compliment the "science fiction" mood of this post
