The Future of Eugenics.


Eugenics, although based on the science of genetics, is not itself a science, for it must above all concern itself with social values, with the question:  Whither mankind?

Perhaps general agreement could be had that freedom from gross physical or mental defects and the possession of sound health, high intelligence, general adaptability, and nobility of spirit are the major goals toward which eugenics should aim; perhaps even that diversity of nature is better than uniformity of type.

But how far ought selective reproduction to interfere with human freedoms?  

Genetically, as in other respects, "there is so much bad in the best of us and so much good in the worst of us" that it is hard to assess if the worth of the manifested hereditary characteristics are the product of environment, particularly for those qualities that are eugenics' major concern: sound health, high intelligence, and the like.
