Via Ross, I see that Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow has a long essay in Dissent on how the left needs to come to grips with its own eugenic past and the new designer baby craze. I gave it a quick read (I’m printing it out). From what I can tell, she seems to downplay the relationship between progressives and eugenics considerably from my own conservative perspective. But from the perspective of a liberal-leftist she tells some very hard truths. I’d be curious to hear Ramesh’s thoughts, but I don’t want to put any more paperwork on his desk either.
