The issue is kind of on the dark side, and murky like around stagnant ponds at the end of the fall season, but the eugenicists are already moving on. Cloning is coming, and what we have seen so far from the eugenicists is just batting practice. The World Series of eugenics lies just ahead.

I look at it differently. Eugenics (like any other idea) is dangerous ONLY if it is backed by "the power of the state". What would be wrong with "libertarian eugenics" (i.e. providing genetic information to prospective parents and leaving the decision as to how to proceed (or not proceed) up to them)???
