The Let's Play Archive
14th December, 2012 Dear Archive Reader, Well, I'm sure I don't need to remind you what today is! What, you…you don't remember? Today is our Second Anniversary of Shininess! Oh, don't worry that you've not got me anything, because I got you something big: a shedload of shiny new features (we especially like the Reading List and the new Table of Contents), a brand new fancy logo, and some long-needed polishing!

This adage is appropriate to our current rush into the "gene age," which has striking parallels to the eugenics movement of the early decades of the 20th century. Eugenics was, quite literally, an effort to breed better human beings – by encouraging the reproduction of people with "good" genes and discouraging those with "bad" genes. Eugenicists effectively lobbied for social legislation to keep racial and ethnic groups separate, to restrict immigration from southern and eastern Europe, and to sterilize people considered "genetically unfit."
