We here at CMR have noticed that eugenics never really went away. Hitler gave it a bad name so they simply started calling it family planning, overpopulation, and environmentalism. But it’s still just plain ol’ eugenics. Zombie from Pajamas Media has noticed this as well and has a new feature called “This Week in Eugenics.” Definitely worth reading:
Wait — eugenics, did you say? Isn’t that a discredited pseudoscience from centuries past, like phrenology?
Well, yes, but eugenics never went away. Despite reaching its bloody culmination in the Nazi era, eugenics is still seductive as a concept to many people, and eugenics-based proposals still crop up in popular culture distressingly often, frequently by people who don’t even realize the historical implications of what they’re suggesting.
Over the last several days I’ve noticed an alarming upswing in eugenics-related incidents and current events, even though none of them were identified as such. And so, to rectify this oversight by the Meme Lords, I present — This Week in Eugenics!

All eugenics is about is the old discredited idea that man can be perfected. The only problem with that idea is that our souls and bodies are tainted with original sin. True science and true religion shows that we have been on a downhill path since the boot from Eden. Only through God's grace can we escape the ravages of the 1st and 2nd death. Only through the ressurrection can our vile bodies become glorious bodies. Eugenics can never give us their hoped for perfection because they can only work with the fallen creation. Stephen E Dalton
