| Summary: | This article is concerned with the international transpolitical enthusiasm for eugenics in the pre‐ and interwar periods and whether these histories, of which the Nazi experience may be the most extreme and unrepresentative case, have any special relevance to debates about genetic engineering in the present, which may require a less charged, but finer, discourse. It concludes by posing a series of questions which have not been adequately addressed by bioethicists or scientists who work in these fields, but which may be of some relevance to how we think about these issues in the future. |
