- Title
La eugenesia. Claves de una agresión contra el ser humano.
- Authors
Pérez Castells, Javier
- Abstract
The new eugenics is based on the liberalization of eugenic abortion, embryo selection and gene editing. After reviewing the historical background, the scientific advances that give rise to this new form of eugenics that is presented as therapeutic, improver of the human population and warrantee of procreative freedom are summarized. The main arguments that show that it actually hides a forceful aggression against free human beings follow. New eugenics imply the rejection of the weak and defective, the loss of equality in the consideration of people and the freedom to build oneself and be agents of our lives. It is discussed how the process, which will leave millions of embryos on the way, may not be as viable as it is said thanks to the complexity of the genome. It is intended to make a wake-up call to know what we are facing and demand a deep dialogue about the consequences of what we can do for future generations.
