Misuse of genetics an 'attack on humanity', says pope

"It is necessary to reiterate that all discrimination exercised...against people, populations or ethnicities on the basis of differences coming from real or supposed genetic factors is an attack against all of humanity," the pope said.
The pope alluded to the misuse of genetics in Nazi Germany, saying that eugenics was in the past used "like the fruit of hate against a population".
The leader of the world's 1.1 billion Catholics said there are signs the "hateful" practice still exists.
