Preface
John Glad is a brave scholar. He here ventures onto the high seas of contemporary intellectual interdict. The
term eugenics has been on an ideological hit list both by the irrational left as well as by an intimidated public.
However, as Dr. Glad points out clearly and authoritatively, there is virtually no factual basis for what can only
be seen as a totemic reaction. The mere mention of eugenics elicits knee-jerk reaction—
“Nazi genocide, forced sterilization.”
Yet by any standard of rational analysis, this vision of improvement for the human species has a strong
humanistic tradition to support its further application.
The real history of eugenics, as Dr. Glad points out is rich in a truly liberal vision for the improvement in the
state of all of humankind. And modern research in the biological nature of human function is opening up
opportunities for the enhancement of both the physical as well as the mental condition of the human species.
This, at a blazing speed of discovery. Thus, we need thinkers such as John Glad who will step up to challenge
blind prejudice with fact and possibility. The world is in a descending spiral today, with 6.5 billion people, going
on 9-10 billion humans by mid-century, the vast majority living under historically and civilizationally subhuman
conditions.
The same powers-that-be, those that blind the educated with a fear of the term eugenics, represent the self-

demographic explosion of the destitute and the vulnerable. What is occurring, and against which Dr. Glad is
expostulating, is a shakedown and intimidation of the productive middle classes in order to feed the pathology
of poverty, disease, and social disintegration to which we are exposed in the media, each day.
These ideological leadership cadres that stand in the way of the dissemination of the truth concerning the
ideals of the old and new eugenics movement indulge themselves luxurio
