The history of human genetics has reminded us, again and again, that 'knowing apart' often begins with an emphasis on 'knowing' but often ends with an emphasis on 'parting.' " In other words, genetic medicine requires that we use our knowledge not for narrowing humanity but for expanding our collective imagination.
