I think there was a POW scene in Magnum P.I. that was a lot for little me. Not sure episode/season.
Honestly, though, coming to the realization at abput 13 that the “General Lee” and the prominent placement for Confederate flags the Dukes of Hazzard represent an American South that promotes white supremacy, Jim Crow laws, and segregation — all antithetical to my BIPOC existence.
The cognitive dissonance involved in the song, pre-programming me to lend them the excuse that they’re “just a good ol’ boys…” — yeah, my parents should’ve known better.
The thoughts I had for Daisy Duke would’ve had me lynched, like Emmitt Till, under that flag. Still might.
Genetic-level diagnoses and treatments.
Inexpensive, rapid genome sequencing.
Commonplace genetic counselling for more than just pregnancy.
Laws in place to govern the collection, use, ownership, and patenting of human genes and genetic information.
Cloned tissues (i.e. blood, skin), organs (i.e. heart, lungs, kidneys) for transplant or repair.
I graduated university the same year the Human Genome Project first published completion. Certainly, that project uncovered more questions than answers.
Also, we’ve done an absolutely garbage job of becoming appropriate stewards of this technology. Primarily, today, it would be used to identify, segregate, subjugate, and eventually kill a portion of the population.
