Problem: What Do You Think of This Quote from Nobel Prizewinner and Chemist Linus Pauling?
I have suggested that there should be tattooed on the forehead of every young person a symbol showing possession of the sickle-cell gene or whatever other similar gene, such as the gene for phenylketonuria . . . If this were done, two young people carrying the same seriously defective gene . . . would recognize this situation at first sight, and would refrain from falling in love with one another. It is my opinion that legislation along this line, compulsory testing for defective genes before marriage, and some form of semipublic display of this possession, should be adopted.-Linus Pauling (Appleyard, 1998, 67.)
