Backdoor to Eugenics

About this book

Considered a classic in the field Troy Dusters Backdoor to Eugenics was a groundbreaking book that grappled with the social and political implications of the new genetic technologies. Completely updated and revised this work will be welcomed back into print as we struggle to understand the pros and cons of prenatal detection of birth defects; gene therapies; growth hormones; and substitute genetic answers to problems linked with such groups as Jews Scandanavians Native American Arabs and African Americans. Dusters book has never been more timely.
