"As we consider the fast pace of scientific and technological progress in our modern world, we must not lose our moral compass and give way to 'free market eugenics'"
- Sam Brownback
About this Quote
This quote by Sam Brownback is a caution against the possible threats of untreated scientific and technological development. He is cautioning us to not forget our moral compass and succumb to the idea of "free market eugenics". This is a recommendation to the concept of using genetic modification to create a society of individuals with desirable traits, such as intelligence or physical attractiveness. This could lead to a world where individuals are judged and treated differently based upon their genetic makeup, which would be an offense of fundamental human rights. Brownback is advising us that, as we move forward with scientific and technological progress, we need to not forget our moral worths and the significance of treating everybody equally. We must make sure that our advances in science and innovation are used to benefit all of humanity, not just a choose couple of.
