If you do any medical research on a site like emedicine.com, you'll find that for many diseases or conditions, there are references to the prevalence of the disease in certain races, or sexes, or age groups. Some or all of these "groups" may have a predisposition to certain maladies. Others can be explained by culture, geographical location, or diet. I don't see that considering race as "a" factor is all that significantly different from recognizing that there are differences between men and women. While I realize there is a vast difference between the sexes and obviously a greater difference between males and females of any color/race etc., than between women of different races, e.g., the fact remains that the whole person must be considered. If race enters into it, from a scientific standpoint, what's wrong with considering it? just my two centavos.<g>
