Control

CONTROL explores the history and influence of eugenics, tracing its origins from Victorian-era ideas to its role in the atrocities of the Holocaust and its lingering presence in modern debates about gene editing. The book examines whether eugenics was ever scientifically valid or always pseudoscience, and considers its ongoing implications in the age of advanced genetics. Through this examination, it provides a vital perspective on one of the most controversial and destructive ideas of the twentieth century.
