Brave New World - a Defence of Paradise-Engineering
BRAVE NEW WORLD ? A Defence Of Paradise-Engineering Brave New World (1932) is one of the most bewitching and insidious works of literature ever written. An exaggeration? Tragically, no.

Hence to treat his masterpiece as ill-conceived futurology rather than a work of great literature might

Modern Eugenics and Genetic Engineering
Beginning in the 1980s the history and concept of eugenics were widely discussed as knowledge about genetics advanced significantly. Endeavors such as the Human Genome Project made the effective modification of the human species seem possible again (as did Darwin's initial theory of evolution in the 1860s, along with the rediscovery of Mendel's laws in the early 20th century). The difference at the beginning of the 21st century was the guarded attitude towards eugenics, which
