In the Name of Eugenics Genetics and the Uses of Human Heredity:
At the end of the 20th century, biotechnological techniques and other agendas are making forms of human eugenics plausible. Rich in anecdote, narrative, and fact. An important book.

The sex impulse is perfectly normal. It is at the basis of our entire social fabric. It is not to be suppressed, but perfectly controlled. The love of lovers has its origin in sex. The selection of a companion is a sex choice. Marriage on any other basis is a farce.
Perpetuating the species is the supreme purpose of the choice of mates among animals and marriage among human beings. In relation to this supreme purpose spooning?Create has a natural and necessary function, that of sexual excitement. Any social relation in the single or married life that leads to sexual excitement is spooning. Normal animals and human beings are susceptible to the influence of spooning. Any state of. sexual excitement aroused by improper or intemperate social relations, in the single or married, is -unnatural and may lead to immoral thoughts, acts, or marital prodigality.
Why do boys and men seek to hold the hand of a girl, pinch her arm, play with her hair, place their arms about her person, kiss her, recline and sit in her lap, or have her recline and sit in theirs? Why do some girls permit and encourage these relations? They are ignorant of the laws of sex and the dangers growing out of the excitement of the sexual impulse. Not one in fifty understands that spooning is purely a sex call. Not one in fifty understands that the thrill of pleasure accompanying spooning is an expression of sexual excitement.
I am engaged to a young lady, as pure as God ever made. Our engagement is rather a long one, two or three years. I see her only two or three times a year and a week or so at a time. I love her with a pure love and vice versa. I am a manly man and have no habits of vice. When we are together I often place my arms around her and kiss her. This is done as innocently as I would kiss my sister. However, I will admit that there is a thrill of delightful pleasure accompanying these relations with my sweetheart that is . not experienced when I caress my sister.
Now for my questions. I would like for you to explain again the distinction between sexuality and sensuality. What is the relation of love to sex? Why does kissing one's sweetheart thrill him with so much more pleasure than kissing his sister? Do you really think that the limited amount of "spooning" indulged in by us would lead to physical, mental or moral injury? Is "spooning" a sin in the sight of God? How about dancing? In what way does spooning injure a young man? In what way does it injure a young woman? I am seeking light that I may be able to intelligently judge between what is right and what is wrong, in this >matter. If I had ever questioned the _moral right of lovers to spoon, I would never have engaged in it. I would die before I would injure her. Please answer these questions right away and let me thank you now for your kindness and trouble.
Respectfully, ——————————.

Love and Eugenics among the Late Victorians is a fascinating, lucid, and controversial study of the centrality of eugenic debate to the Victorians. Reappraising the operation of social and sexual power in Victorian society and fiction, it makes a radical contribution to English studies, nineteenth-century and gender studies, and the history of science.
Our Posthuman Future Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution
by Francis Fukuyama (Author)
A decade after his now-famous pronouncement of “the end of history,” Francis Fukuyama argues that as a result of biomedical advances, we are facing the possibility of a future in which our humanity itself will be altered beyond recognition. Fukuyama sketches a brief history of man’s changing understanding of human nature: from Plato and Aristotle to the modernity’s utopians and dictators who sought to remake mankind for ideological ends. Fukuyama argues that the ability to manipulate the DNA of all of one person’s descendants will have profound, and potentially terrible, consequences for our political order, even if undertaken with the best of intentions. In Our Posthuman Future, one of our greatest social philosophers begins to describe the potential effects of genetic exploration on the foundation of liberal democracy: the belief that human beings are equal by nature.
