Throughout history, people have sought to improve society by reducing suffering, eliminating disease or enhancing desirable qualities in their children. But this wish goes hand in hand with the desire to impose control over who can marry, who can procreate and who is permitted to live. In the Victorian era, in the shadow of Darwin’s ideas about evolution, a new full-blooded attempt to impose control over our unruly biology began to grow in the clubs, salons and offices of the powerful. It was enshrined in a political movement that bastardised science, and for 60 years enjoyed bipartisan and huge popular support.
Eugenics was vigorously embraced in dozens of countries. It was also a cornerstone of Nazi ideology, and forged a path that led directly to the gates of Auschwitz. But the underlying ideas are not merely historical. The legacy of eugenics persists in our language and literature, from the words ‘moron’ and ‘imbecile’ to the themes of some of our greatest works of culture. Today, with new gene editing techniques, very real conversations are happening - including in the heart of British government - about tinkering with the DNA of our unborn children, to make them smarter, fitter, stronger.
Control tells the story of attempts by the powerful throughout history to dictate reproduction and regulate the interface of breeding and society. It is an urgently needed examination that unpicks one of the defining and most destructive ideas of the 20th century. To know this history is to inoculate ourselves against its being repeated.

Eugenics is a legacy of the left. Never forget that. The Civil War was against democrats who wanted to keep their slaves. Never forget that, either. Juneteenth was a battle against democrats who still didn’t want to give up their slaves, even after they lost the Civil War and slavery was abolished. Remember that one, too. So you can go stuff your false virtue. The only time leftists care about minorities is when they think that they might be politically useful.

It looks like you maybe pre-judging the book before reading it rivatej428. Of course, you are absolutely correct, but understanding that the extreme left have been bankrolled (controlled) by exactly the same people as the extreme right throughout modern history is essential to our understanding of eugencics. In the books synopsis, it mentions the British government’s tinkering with DNA in unborn babies. Well, that is policy of the globalist left, not the conservative right in the UK and elsewhere, who strongly oppose all such ‘mad’ and unethical science. I will give the book a listen before I prejudge it as being either honest or simply disinfo. If it’s honest, it will explain that the American Eugenics Society transformed into Planned Parenthood, and that the elitist Fabian Society, which established British (and global) socialism and the 20th century political union movement were also central to globalist eugenics, which then transformed into what we know today as genetics research, funded by far-left globalist billionaires such as Bill Gates, whose father was a leading figure in American eugenics. All this factual history is very well documented, so I hope that this book will detail this and more. Fingers crossed.

@rivatej428 Democrats are centrist right wing neoliberal fascist remember that!!!! In America there is no “LEFT”….. the ruling elite always co-opts the real left! NO LEFT IN THE USA…. Democrats are the worst!!!! The right wing is always in charge and the USA is NOT a Democracy. The inner agency runs this country. Every election is stolen from the working class. All the masters do is manage perception. All is going to plan for it is a feature not a bug. Let a sleeping dog lie… but what is a crisis but a issue ignored. Order out of chaos and never let a crisis go to waste. We are nothing but slaves and our freedom is at arms reach. This is what makes our human condition so tragic.
