Genetic discrimination

In the beginning of the 20th century, the human mind was much more inclined to search for scientific answers to society’s problems by perfecting the human race by applying the laws of genetic heredity. In 1883, Sir Francis Galton, a respected British scientist, first used the term Eugenics, “the study of all agencies under human control which can improve or impair the racial quality of future generations.” He believed that the human race could help direct its future by selectively breeding…

Genetic engineering is the manipulation of genes in an organism with the intention of making that organism better in some way. Scientific breakthroughs such as genetic engineering can have both positive and negative impacts. The history of scientific theories to explain human evolution and development demonstrate how these theories can help to better understand and improve human existence, but can also be perversely applied to support racism. One major positive impact of genetic engineering is…
