In the human family, spooning?Create belongs only to the married life. If indulged in by married people beyond reasonable limits, it leads to sensuality, physical, mental and moral injury. If indulged in, even to a very limited extent among the single, it is fraught with gravest temptations. True love will find expression. Intelligent love, love guided by moral convictions, will find only the channels of expression that are safe. If young people would meet each other at the marriage altar with unkissed lips, there would be few blighted lives and wrecked homes. While a goodbye kiss might be indulged in occasionally near the close of an engagement, by pure minded young people without any apparent harm, it is not necessary to their happiness or a necessary expression of love.

Love and Eugenics among the Late Victorians is a fascinating, lucid, and controversial study of the centrality of eugenic debate to the Victorians.

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.
