Eugenics, Again
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-29 19:58:32
An interesting article in on the pro-choice movement and the “new” eugenics open by way of. There are some thorny issues here which the author effectively touches on. What isn’t discussed is the situation outside North America which has a distinct flavor depending on the country concerned. Eugenics is one of those things that amalgamates uniquely in different cultural contexts. That is to say that like everything else it has a history.
A poorly understood issue and one I’ve. For those who might be curious to do some digging. I’m also including another [patented] bibliography; a tight one-page synthesis of the key texts perused in preparation for a investigate proposal written in 2004 to do public policy bring home the bacon (I was a different person then. I swear…) relating to the air of eugenics. One caveat…The proposal made it past the first bring together of cuts but didn’t get selected. Maybe that’s because I slapped it together in a week while riding the commuter instruct from the banlieu of Paris during a research move…
