\n\u2018The New Eugenics\u2019 examines the implications of various biotechnologies for humankind
\n<\/h2>\n
\n

BLOOMSBURG, Penn., Jan. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Conrad B. Quintyn, Ph.D., explores how scientists seeking to repair \u201cdefects\u201d in humans have ushered in the age of the new eugenics in his new book \u201cThe New Eugenics: Modifying Biological Life in the Twenty-First Century<\/a>\u201d (published by Archway Publishing).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The author argues that increasingly, scientists believe that improving the health, environment, and safety of humankind justifies the risks. The book encompasses many biotechnologies within the definition of the \u201cnew\u201d eugenics because these technologies are used to \u201cimprove the stock,\u201d when the stock in this case are all humans. In addition to discussing the new genetics in terms of in vitro fertilization and PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis) like other researchers, Quintyn talks about other biotechnologies as well. Additionally, he includes animals in the new eugenics because the success, advances, techniques, and science of genetic engineering could not have occurred without using animals (and microorganisms, insects, plants) as model organisms.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cScientific advancement, if not guided responsibly and with public input, can be detrimental to public safety,\u201d Quintyn states, continuing. \u201cAnd, the public should ponder the dichotomy between scientific advancement and public safety. Or, are these two entities one and the same?\u201d<\/p>\n
