This #BOTD sounds insightful from a scientific point of view. It is rare that a scientist would be against cloning or genetic selection due to the possibility of dangerous outcomes. Great review!

As I'm from a medical student background I found this book so fascinating also the best part was the forthcoming aspect and more into the biological world.

I read the sample of the book, I am saving it for future reading. The information is too much to take in one go for me. Thank you for the honest review.

Wonderful and insightful review! I was somewhat hesitant to check this book out, since I feel like the subject must be analyzed from every point of view possible to truly encompass the effects of eugenics. It sounds like the author skillfully interrogates the pros and cons of eugenics in its many forms. I'm especially excited about the historical precedents the author will bring up.

Based off of the review, this book seems interesting but I'm not keen on reading it. This genre doesn't really interest me. Congratulations on making book of the day!

Thanks for your review. The topics of eugenics and biological advances sound interesting. Still, it seems a layman may not be able to understand the discussions.

I am currently reading this book and it is actually quite engaging if you have an idea of the scientific world and it’s progress in the past few years.

I didn't know before that new eugenics could resurrect the old ones and stigmatize the individual. I guess this book has some explanations for me!

The whole premise of the book definitely has a great tone. Being a science student, I've studied must of these concepts thoroughly that's why entire book captivated me from start to the end. It discusses vastly about all the boons eugenics can give us but also the demerits that it sets in this world.

I don't usually read non fiction books, but I'm in the medical field so this book sounds very interesting to me.

I love the way the author talks about the biblical and scientific aspects of eugenics. He wasn't one-sided. He was of the opinion that invitro fertilization shouldn't be accessible to only the rich but to all citizens. The book is going to worth the while.

Playing god is always something fascinating I find about science. The ability to clone and the potential to restore extinct species is exciting. Thanks for a lovely review!
