Bringing Balance to the Diverse Needs of Earth's Life Community
The Sanger Initiative recognizes that there is a rapidly developing body of scientific research, which validates the age-old comprehension of the significant role that heredity plays in the shaping and determining of human abilities and personality traits which are directly proportional to an increase in the universal quality of life and the progress of civilization at large. Compassion dictates that it is better for the entire world if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. Today, the rapid progress in genetic science holds out the promise that gene “splicing” or genetic “surgery” may make the elimination of many hereditary defects a real possibility in the foreseeable future. If individual deleterious genes can be deleted and replaced by healthy counterparts so that future generations can inherit all the desirable qualities of their forebears free from adverse mutations and other heritable disabling conditions, a bright and prosperous future is indeed before us. We at the Sanger Initiative hold that these eugenic objectives of eliminating genetic diseases, increasing intelligence, and reducing personality disorders are not only desirable, but are also practically achievable by an entirely voluntary implementation of human biotechnology. The prenatal diagnosis of embryos with genetic diseases, embryo selection, and cloning are not only viable possibilities for a new tomorrow, but perhaps the greatest opportunity to end human suffering in the history of mankind.
“Most of those who have sought to suppress human knowledge about heredity have done so with kindly intentions, but sound policies can never be constructed on bad science or unsound data. Any society that sets itself against the immutable causal laws of biology and evolution will ultimately bring about its own demise.” —Roger Pearson
