The love of lovers will express itself. Its expression should be governed
by a sane knowledge of human nature and moral conviction. There are many natural and innocent channels through which love can express itself, such as the look of the eye, the flush of the face, the tones of the voice, words and phrases, gifts, acts of gallantry and courtesy. Love is an inventive genius. It never woos and wins twice in the same manner. A whole month of courtship may be accomplished in the gift of a rose. Love possesses a language peculiarly its own. Its power of communication is not confined to vocal expressions or physical mediums. If true lovers are separated by months of time and a continent of space, ever and anon, love annihilates time and space in its swift and mysterious movements, bringing lovers blissfully and consciously together. This is love.

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.
