A few months back we looked at a clip from the February 26, 1967 episode of CBS’s 21st Century. The episode includes an interview with James Bonner, who advocated for human eugenics in the future.
Today, we have a clip of the retort by Harrison Brown, who raises questions about whether eugenics is as "common sense" as Bonner insists. Interestingly enough, Harrison Brown and James Bonner co-wrote a book together in 1957 titled, The Next Hundred Years.
What are the outstanding virtues we should attempt to breed in to our population? You might say intelligence, but what kind of intelligence? You might say attractiveness, but what kind of attractiveness?
The episode, "The Mystery of Life," can be found in its entirety on the A/V Geeks DVD, Twenty-First Century.
