Politics, Economics and Society
International New Book / Eugenics has changed its form, and "eugenics," which was once sealed and revived again, is now re-emerging in a strange new way. Eugenics is a scientific social improvement movement aimed at "passing on only the blood line of superior human beings to the next generation, and at improving the blood line of inferior persons so that they may be cut off or become beneficial human beings." In the past, humans have repeatedly "discriminated against, eliminated or obliterated minorities such as the disabled and the elderly, immigrants and Jews" by means of eugenic ideas. In Japan, the "policy of isolation of persons affected by leprosy" is typified by "progress in science," "stagnation in the economy" and "spread of the novel coronavirus." The real fear of the novel coronavirus is that it has led to the spread of the disease through "progress in science", "discrimination" and "reluctance to seek medical care." We examine the history of eugenics and discuss the modern threat. From the history of eugenics to the latest biological research such as genome editing and behavioral genetics.
