The book, The New Eugenics by Conrad B. Quintyn , is a book that deals with science. After reading the sample, I think this book will appeal to reader's who want to learn about genetics. I also feel rhis book will appeal to science professionals, and reader's who want to have an endept look into the world of science.

ivf has helped a lot of those who want to have a kid or kids, and idk why some people demonize it and use religion as their excuse saying it's wrong cause it's like playing gods but isn't it that they're the one playing gods when they like to control other people's decisions. And I think new eugenics is the future.

this review shows your vast knowledge not only in the scientific field but also your deep understanding the subject matter - Eugenics .

Your summary is concise and clear, and gives one a quick and general overview of the book.

Your positive feelings about the book is capable of compelling more reader.
I am a novice in the subject eugenics and I'm not in the sciences but it sounds like an interesting topic that u would like to explore.

While I have read several dystopian novels on this subject, I have never read a nonfiction text on genetic modification, etc. It sounds like this was exceptionally well-written, so I'll have to check it out. It is rare that a sound ethical argument is made that doesn't stem from religion. Thanks for a great review!

I wholeheartedly agree that cloning, IVF, and transhumanism definitely form a unique group of topics. As medical advancements continue to gain ground globally, these areas of study are worth taking a deeper look at. A scientific background would definitely assist readers with comprehension of some of the more technical terms, so I look forward to reading this one soon! Thank you for your insightful review. 🧬

'Official Review: The New Eugenics' by Conrad B. Quintin is a nice reflection on the theme of Eugenics for modern readers! I learned many new scientific terms, ideas, and phenomena through the review! The issues raised by the author in the book are innovative, refreshing, and appealing to readers! The point of playing God and creating a perfect and just world is thought-provoking for learned readers in the review! Nice to learn that the work of the author is addictive, insightful, and witty!

In sampling this book, I agree with the author’s concerns about the lack of regulation and oversight in this area. This book is timely and the warnings are valid. Thank you for your thorough review.

This looks like a well-thought out and thorough overview of modern eugenics. I'm not sure how I feel about some of the ethics involved and would have to read further to see the author's thoughts on the matter. Thank you for the insightful review.

Best fit for readers with a scientific background, today's BOTD is a thought-provoking read about eugenics and the ethical and moral issues surrounding it. Readers will appreciate the arguments, claims, and criticisms presented in the text, as they are backed with evidence that's well-thought-out and researched. Thank you so much for your helpful review! :-)

Science and religion, it is very difficult to relate but if more thoroughly and carefully compare religions and science will be found something interconnected, cool this book can bring and compare religions and science

Indeed this book deserves four out of four because it emphasize on the science, application, ethics and governance of human genome editing. I like the way the written speaks on the dangers we're exposed to.

The author seems to bring a lot of important issues about the consequences of genetic engineering, which might lead to the discrimination of some parts of the population. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!
