Eugenics
"For the effective genetic improvement of mankind is dependent on major changes in social conditions, and correlative changes in human attitudes. In the first place, there can be no valid basis for estimating and comparing the intrinsic worth of different individuals without economic and social conditions which provide approximately equal opportunities for all members of society instead of stratifying them from birth into classes with widely different privileges."
Hermann J. Muller, "A Geneticist's Manifesto", 1939
"Do we not still sinfully waste a treasure of knowledge by ignoring the creative possibilities of genetic improvement? … to accomplish in one or two generations of eugenic practice what would now take ten or one hundred".
Joshua Lederberg, ""Biological Future of Man", in Man and His Future, 1963
Nazis revealed the true nightmare of eugenic ideas with their "final solution." But like the endless number of movie sequels that have overrun our theaters, eugenics is back with a new cast of characters and a slightly different script, but the same tired and dangerous old plot.
No one will admit it, of course, and no honorable scientist will say that current research on the inheritance of social or behavioral traits perpetuates the old notions of eugenics. Yet in the last several years, book after scientific book and paper after paper have reported genetic links to everything from alcoholism and criminality.
Garland Allen Feb 5, 1989
