Edge: Cover Story - Publico Sunday Magazine: "We are all equal

Simon Baron-Cohen, psychologist, Autism Research Center, Cambridge University

I still believe in some aspects of the idea of equality, but I can no longer accept the whole package. Striving to give people equality of social opportunity is still a value system worth defending, but we have to accept that equality has no place in the realm of biology."
