Review of The New Eugenics
[Following is a volunteer review of "The New Eugenics" by Conrad B. Quintyn.]
In its original sense, the new eugenics champions the use of genetic engineering and reproductive technology to improve human capacities and characteristics. The author takes us through all the achievements and all the moral repercussions behind this technological advancement. This book offers us a detailed explanation of the possible advantages of genetic engineering. Genetic engineering can be beneficial in that it can help to reduce genetic diseases, among other things. At the same time, it can open a pathway to many unknown consequences. The book poses the big question of how this scientific advancement can be achieved without endangering public safety.
The New Eugenics is a non-fiction book authored by Conrad B. Quintyn. It educates us about the modification of biological life by offering a deeper dive into the intricacies of this field. If writing books was a form of drawing maps that would lead people into new territories of intellect, Quintyn is a first-tier cartographer. He manages to explain a very complex topic with clarity.
The depth of knowledge offered in this book is astonishing. The nuts-and-bolts details of the author's research and writing process are delightful. The tenacity, the humility, the ardent desire to make readers truly understand the subject was what I loved about this book. The author made sure that he came up with something meaningful and masterful. I started reading this book with little knowledge on biotech, but I closed the last page much more educated and informed. The quotes that the author provided at the beginning of every chapter set the mood for the topic discussed in the chapter.
Although this book is quite descriptive, it does not feel bloated. The author fluently elucidates intricate scientific inquiries and findings on how genetic engineering provides a dilemma between its significance and its consequences. Expertly and passionately arguing that it is imperatively important for people to understand both the good and the bad sides of genetic engineering. The book will make some readers find a new interest in this topic. The author made sure he provided a glossary for readers to look up terms that they were not familiar with.
This book is brilliantly written, rich in information and wisdom. It was exceptionally edited and had a cohesive flow. With that in consideration, I don’t have any reason for taking away any stars in my ratings. I give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. Anyone who loves reading about biotech and genetic engineering will enjoy reading this book.
