Eugenics, Ethics, and the Christian Dilemma

This chapter investigates the historical roots and ethical concerns surrounding eugenics in America, particularly its ties to Darwinian thought. It highlights the challenges faced by Christians in reconciling faith with contemporary socio-scientific narratives, as well as the potential dehumanizing impacts of these reconciliations. The discussion extends to the significant implications of these ideologies on modern issues such as abortion and prenatal testing, urging a reexamination of theological stances and cultural norms.
