Description:
"In the continuing excitement over the progress of the Human Genome Project and the fast-changing technologies that are developing from it, one word has been conspicuous by its absence from the media hype: 'eugenics'." "Since the horrendous experiments of Nazi Germany and the abuses of other dictators, before and after, eugenics has acquired a sinister reputation. Yet now, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, eugenics should again be recognised for what it is: the use of science for the improvement of our genetic constitution."--BOOK JACKET.
