Homo medicus

Author: The Editors
A well known science and medical author, Wades Tudeep, has proposed an upgrade to a famous Shakespeare quote from Hamlet:
“What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable!  In action how like an Angel!  In apprehension how like a god! . . . [proposed addition] . . . In DNA, what an  encyclopedia of disease!"
At a recent conference of medical futurists obsessed with human DNA, Wades Tudeep said, “with the sequencing of the human genome and all of you scientists’ fabulous efforts, we now know for sure there are three types of mankind:  (a) the sick, or those with disease,  (b) survivors, or those who lived through a disease, and (c) previvors, or those who are about to get a disease.”/.../
