Challenging the eugenics movement, G K Chesterton's work serves as a prescient critique of the dangers associated with 'scientific breeding.' Written over 90 years ago, it addresses the absurdities of eugenics during a time when influential figures supported it. Chesterton's sharp wit reveals the potential for misuse, foreshadowing the horrific consequences seen in the Holocaust. The relevance of his arguments persists today, as modern genetics raises similar ethical concerns, making this analysis both timely and thought-provoking.
