The Eugenicist Temptation

I reviewed a new book on the Eugenics Movement in the current National Review, and gave it a substantial rave. Better For All The World is great history. Sadly, the author understands the problem of the resurgence of eugenics thinking in bioethics and among some futurists, but the answer to this very real problem generally eludes him. But understanding the problem is half the solution, which makes Better a worthwhile read.
