Sex Education Is The RemedySex Education Is The Remedy
Eugenics concerns the scientific knowledge of the laws of sex, life and heredity.
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.

All men have inherited more or less of sensual desire. Nearly all have intensified this unfortunate heredity by yielding to sensual impulses, in thoughts, language or acts. It follows that but few are normal. Nature teaches the lower animals to keep out of the fire, to avoid eating poisons and to control sexual desire. But nature does not teach a child to control the sex impulses. Nature does not teach an infant not to crawl into the fire, a pool of water or not to eat poison.
The sexual impulse among the lower animals is guided and controlled by instinct. The sexual impulse in human beings is to be guided by reason and controlled by will. The attitude of the reason and will toward the sexual impulse will be almost wholly determined by the education received. If this education is scientific and moral, timely and wisely given, virtue will be safeguarded. If children are neglected in this respect, their reason and will are likely to be found powerless when temptation assails. Dawning of a Better Day.— In the trend of social progress a better day has come. We are rapidly coming to see the imperative need of proper sex education for both sexes and all ages. In the past law-makers, moralizers and teachers have dealt with the effects of the social evil and have neglected to study the causes. We no longer turn away like Pharisees, and pretend that we do not know what exists. We are abandoning our foolish, cowardly puritanical hypocrisy.
Morality is the product of voluntarily choosing to do, in thought, word and act, what is known to be right and in resisting what is known to be wrong.
Immorality is the product of voluntarily choosing to do, in thought, word and act, what is known to be wrong and in refusing to do what is known to be right.
Unmorality is the product of leaving the conscience uneducated, or of a conscience partly or wholly trained to believe wrong to be right.
The moral man chooses to resist temptation and to do right.
The immoral man chooses to do wrong and yields to temptation.
The unmoral man is powerless to make an intelligent choice; all acts are legitimate to him.
The first man deserves reward and gets it; the second man deserves punishment and sooner or later receives it; the third man deserves pity and help, but, as a rule, he is severely censured and unjustly punished.

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.
