Fanaticism of Pure Race in the Early 1900’s Throughout history we have seen how humans must adapt or evolve to survive. But Germans took it to far by promulgating a purification of a race and tweaking the meaning of survival into races. In the early 1900’s the German society acted to convey the purification of their race called the German Volk‚ where women were persuaded to stay home and reproduce beautiful German children‚ suppress abortion‚ and sterilizing people from other races.

When one looks beneath the surface of this perfect society it becomes evident that it is nothing of the sort. Eugenics‚ social conditioning‚ and anti-depressant drugs have solved many of the problems faced by many modern societies; poverty‚ class tension and overpopulation; but at the costs of individuality.

When talking about what is better for the society‚ Robert Sapolsky says that neither is the best because science has had a lot of bad advances such as Lysenkoism‚ eugenics‚ lobotomies‚ but on the other hand‚ faith doesn’t provide anything much for the society except give them the comfort of there being someone who is taking care of them.

Gene therapy is a tool which uses nucleic acids to replace or complete damaged genes (1). However‚ there are risks associated with gene therapy that prompt the discussion of whether or not the risks are worth the outcome. Humans are such a heterogeneous species that it is difficult to predict a universal outcome of a certain gene in all people(2). This can result in immune attacks resulting in death or at best‚ no impact on the patient (2). This was seen in the case of the 1990s where a virus entered

If a limit is not set between using genetic engineering for treatment and using genetic engineering for enhancement‚ then many parents could use it purely for eugenic purposes. This could cause ethical concerns but social concerns as well.

Many of my colleagues say that failure is directly tied to genetics‚ so we should involuntarily sterilize those who are failing‚ a tactic also known as eugenics.
