Spot On | Samiksha Bhan – Genetic Diagnostics in India
Samiksha Bhan talks about her research on genetic diagnostics in India. Samiksha's research looks at how the categorization of people and communities into 'high risk' and 'low risk' groups can lead to both new types of discrimination as well as collective action to demand care for their condition. Through her ethnography with patients, doctors and geneticists, she reflects on what kind of political and ethical consequences emerge when the community or caste group is identified as the basis of genetic risk.
