The New Eugenics: Modifying Biological Life in the Twenty-First Century
by Conrad B. Quintyn, Ph.D.
Archway Publishing
 
"There has been a long-standing belief in human civilization that technology can solve any problem that arises."
 
The term "eugenics" harks back to an earlier era when it was deemed medically and scientifically appropriate to modify or eliminate people—whether adult or embryo—who were considered mentally or physically less-than-perfect specimens. The "new eugenics," controlled by determined scientists whose limitations are few, can have equally powerful if more subtle implications. It involves, Quintyn asserts, "modifying nonhumans to benefit homo sapiens." The chemical engineering of plants and producing genetically altered pigs, monkeys, and other animals are examples of potentially useful areas of study, but all carry dangers, many as yet unknown. Transgenic animals have been developed to be disease resistant or less environmentally harmful, but in the course of evolution, what will their impact be? Should society produce smarter, taller people? Should certain traits, such as homosexuality, be suppressed? The salient question Quintyn raises is: what are, or should be, the limits of such scientific exploration? ... (read more)

The US Review news was brought to you by...
Tomorrow We Will Know by Sandra Worth
 
"Lyrical prose, an expert grasp of historical detail, and deftly honed plausible imagination define award-winning author Worth’s passionate seventh novel. ...evocative and sensual ...brilliant word pictures of place, setting, and character."
– RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Beyond Late-K by Ted Bernard, Alexa Miller (illustrator)

"Readers of Bernards intellectual drift and evocative writing will be rewarded with a commendable, well-rounded, and complex tale in what sadly could end up being humanitys destiny as the Earth teeters on the edge of ecological disaster."
- RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Extraneous by Richard Siciliano
 
"A unique journey into the mind of an eccentric man facing his own mortality. ...a flawed man, but his plight and path toward fulfillment and redemption make for an enjoyable tale.  Siciliano injects the right amount of humanity and light into the characters and story."
 – RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Jewels of Kidron by Susan Minor
 
"Miner’s tale of magical realism, with its inherent fantasy elements, expertly explores real-life situations of abuse and trauma, leaving the readers both grounded and imaginative, sympathetic and curious. It’s difficult to come away from even the first chapters not rooting for Katie and Angelina to find what they’re really looking for deep down."
  – RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Mindless War Two by John D. Trudel and General Paul E. Vallely (Ret)
 
"Trudel and Vallely make the case that early America was based on God and the Constitution and was a much better place to live. [However,] the ultimate goal of the [many] is the destruction of America in a move to a one-world government."
