It's both deeply essentialist, and insulting to people's intelligence. If you're planning on studying hitler's DNA, who cares, knock yourself out. But it's ridiculous to think all but the worst people are going to believe there's an "evil" gene.

If you're a scientist planning on cloning hitler, you have a lot more problems on your hands, and are obviously not pursuing any kind of scientific results and just want attention and deserve all the ridicule from other that idiots you will get.

What if it turns out Hitler saliva cures cancer, all you gotta do is make out with a Hitler clone? You know, like with lizards and limey disease.

I think I did read a recent paper outlining just such a case study.
