Eugenics: The time when Canada wanted to sterilize disabled people
nationalpost.com/news/canada/w

Widely supported at the time by progressives, opposed by the Catholic Church...

As we move into the age of reproduction, I wonder if the word "eugenics" will be rehabilitated, or if we'll call it something else?

Every is dangerous, and the more powerful the tool the more dangerous it is. Of course. Is as dangerous as ? Probably not. It might be in the same league as, oh, say —and those have done a hell of a lot of damage. But they haven’t done it by ushering in the . Instead the damage is from slow, creeping, cumulative change where the effect of any one individual event is too small to measure.

So I really think the focus on world-ending scenarios takes away from the conversations we need to be having. This reminds me a lot of the simmering “how far is too far” debate, especially the kibitzing from “” with no understanding of the and an sense that isn’t nearly as developed as they think it is. There are conversations on that topic I’d like to have without the constant Greek chorus of “! ! !”

The continued relevance of GATTACA to today's genetic landscape.

"Here we compare GATTACA’s fictional technologies with reality’s state of the art, assessing the legal protections afforded in today’s society against GATTACA’s dystopian future in which personal freedom and privacy rights are substantially curtailed by genomic innovations."
