| Abstract: |
We shall examine the concept of eugenics in this section with the goal of outlining its essential components. Following a brief but crucial historical synopsis of eugenics’ development, the theoretical foundations of this idea will be discussed. The different types of eugenics will then be examined. Finally, questions regarding the applicability of bringing eugenics into current bioethics discussions will be addressed. The investigation of these ideas will entail summarizing the fundamental eugenics perspectives without promoting a specific position. It's crucial that readers comprehend the ideas presented in the first chapter and strengthen their critical thinking skills in addition to gaining a deeper comprehension. Familiarity with genetic engineering terminology is not necessary.
