Were people generally informed of the dangers surrounding the relation of the sexes, of the dreadful results of the violation of sexual laws, of the fertile sources of crimes springing therefrom, one of the greatest blessings would come to poor, suffering humanity.
Ignorance is, directly or indirectly, the source of most crimes and of most physical and mental suffering. The ignorance may not all be in the young bandit or the poor sufferer. Some of it. Perhaps most of it, may have resided in the parents.

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.
