Madeleine Albright on DNA

Is it just me? Or does everyone come across genetics, genes, and DNA almost everywhere?

From Madeleine Albright’s memoir, Madam Secretary:

As the twenty-first century began, the world was fascinated by breakthroughs in engineering and research–among them the cloning of sheep, the mapping of DNA, the development of new medicines, and digital technology. I have no quarrel with better living through science, but I do not believe it is the best gauge for measuring progress. A more meaningful yardstick is the spread of democracy. As Secretary of State I found that if I ran down the list of challenges faced by the world–from terrorism and war to poverty and pollution–democracy was the surest path to progress.
