While I'm still not thoroughly convinced that "genetic testing" is an actual ethical dilemma, I'm sure, somehow, it can apply to this reading.

"The Emotional Dog and its Rational Tail" gave me two things: a headache, and hope that someone's opinions can ultimately be changed, seeing as they are not actually based in reason. There is the possibility still to convince a stubborn person of your own mindset, be it by befriending them and using the "morals by association" technique, or through giving them the tools to personally reflect and change their own opinions.
