Description

About the Book:Improvement of man’s genetic endowment by direct ac- tions aimed at striving for the positive propagation of those with a superior genetic profile (an element of which is commonly recognized as a high intelligence quotient) or-conversely-delimitation of those with negative genetic inheritance has always remained a pri- mary concern of the geneticist and the social engineer. Genetic integrity, eugenic advancement, and a strong genetic pool designed to eliminate illness and suffering have been the benchmarks of the “Genetic Movement” and the challenge of Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. If the quality of life can in some way be either im- proved or advanced by use of the law, then this policy must be developed and pursued. No longer does the Dostoyevskian quest to give life meaning through suf- fering become an inescapable given. By and through the development and application of new scientific advances in the field of genetics (and especially genetic engi- neering), the real potential exists to prevent, to a very vii Preface viii real extent, most human suffering before it ever mani- fests itself in or through life. Freedom to undertake re- search in the exciting and fertile frontiers of the “New Biology” and to master the Genetic Code must be nur- tured and maintained. The search for the truth inevi- tably prevents intellectual, social, and economic stag- nation, as well as-ideally-frees all from anxiety and fright. Yet, there is a very real potential for this quest to confuse and confound.
