An introduction to a controversial, yet increasingly important, scientific discipline: the attempts to improve our genetic inheritance. Reclaiming the term "eugenics" from the perverted and racially motivated, the author reasserts its origins in the improvement of our genetic constitution. In the continuing media furore over 'designer babies' and the race to complete the map of human DNA - in other words, to identify the individual genes that make us who we are - scientists and commentators rarely use the word that describes this new ethical and technical minefield: 'eugenics'. Since the horrendous experiments of Nazi death camps the word has laboured under a sinister reputation, yet those perverted and racially motivated abominations should not blind us to what eugenics really is: the use of science for the qualitative and quantitative improvement of our genetic constitution. David Galton's superbly clear-headed, sensible and accessible survey of the history, ethics and potential of this much-maligned branch of science makes fascinating reading. From Ancient Greece to Charles Darwin, Adolf Hitler and the Human Genome Project, IN OUR OWN IMAGE is a brilliant account of our struggle to change the way we are, and where that struggle might take us in the future.

Au cœur du débat qui se développe autour de questions relevant de la bioéthique, des techniques de procréation et du diagnostic des maladies génétiques, l'eugénisme constitue l'un des éléments récurrents, et fondamentaux, de ce dialogue complexe entre les sciences exactes, la médecine, le droit et l'éthique. Néanmoins, si l'on entend prononcer nombre de mots savants, mais également profusion de jugements moraux et de discours catastrophistes, il est difficile pour le grand public de savoir de quoi on parle : qu'est-ce précisément que l'eugénisme Comment définir d'une manière claire et univoque cette démarche qui désigne étymologiquement " l'amélioration de l'humanité dans ses caractères transmissibles aux générations suivantes " ? C'est à ce sujet peu connu, qui évoque pour nos contemporains les méthodes de la barbarie nazie mais concerne en fait toute la société, que cet ouvrage consacre une étude extrêmement complète, riche d'arguments historiques, juridiques, philosophiques et scientifiques. Catherine Bachelard-jobard a choisi une approche pluridisciplinaire afin de comprendre, sans aucun manichéisme, si notre société est réellement en marche vers l'eugénisme. En d'autres termes, sommes-nous en train de nous diriger vers un monde d'enfants parfaits procédant de la sélection pré-natale, décidée par les parents et autorisée par la loi ? Les parents peuvent-ils encore choisir de mettre au monde un enfant différent ? Enfin, les barrières posées par le législateur aux désirs individuels sont-elles suffisantes ? C'est ce débat passionnant que l'auteur se propose d'éclairer dans un ouvrage dont on peut prédire qu'il sera une référence.

Wendy Kline's lucid cultural history of eugenics in America emphasizes the movement's central, continuing interaction with popular notions of gender and morality. Kline shows how eugenics could seem a viable solution to problems of moral disorder and sexuality, especially female sexuality, during the first half of the twentieth century.
