Yea Judah, this is some interesting stuff.

This is like not seeing the forest for the trees. I think the ethical implications of this one case should not be addressed in isolation to genetic testing alone. There should also be discussions on property and ownership of artefacts, be them biological or otherwise that are currently housed predominantly in European/western warehouses and museums. And of course, there should be repatriation of these artefacts.

Also, I dont buy the idea of the Human Genome Diversity sequencing and what 'harm' has been done due to mistrust. While I am definitely for finding the origins of peoples and how we are all associated and 'progressed' to the current world dynamic, I think a big chunk of scientists are focussed on creating 'cures' that they then patent and then you 'have' to buy the drugs from them...always. It is a case of the extension of colonialism.

Maybe its better if the Aborigines stay with their diabetes and heart diseases. I can see it being a valid or good-to-know point that these diseases are genetically concentrated in their subpopulation, but its probably only expressed so much physically/phenotypically due to western/european induced poverty, oppression, discrimination and marginalization.
