Importance of Sex Knowledge
Anglo-Saxon prudery and mock modesty, until very recent years, made sex, in its relations to social questions, a tabooed subject. Today the subject is receiving the attention of the foremost reformers, teachers and ministers. Parents, recognizing the importance of the matter, are teaching their children, the masses are coming to recognize the value and the imperative need of a frank discussion of the subject. The modern purity movement has produced a large variety of pamphlets and books on the various phases of sex. But no one has dealt with the social problem treated in this article.

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.
