James Dewey Watson, Chicago, April 6, 1928, American biologist and zoologist, known for being one of the discoverers of the structure of the DNA molecule, which earned his recognition from the scientific community through the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. Watson has made several controversial statements, well discussed by other scientists and civil rights groups. The controversy first came up in the 90s, when he said he should be given to women the right of abortion if the pre-analysis showed that their child will be homosexual. In October 2007, Watson was severely criticized for pointing out, according to the Sunday Times that blacks need not possess the same intelligence as whites.
