According to Nadia Abu El-Haj, some biomedical researchers in the United States use racial groups as surrogates for individuals who consider themselves to be members of such groups. Why?
A) If a disease marker shows up in the genomes of some people who are supposed to be in the racial group, then others in the same racial group may be at risk for the disease.
B) People who belong to the same race will have the same basic genetic information and therefore will need to be treated for the same diseases.
C) The biomedical researchers make the mistake of thinking that races exist; therefore, they are making a mistake in their research.
