In a recent publication, a state health board asserts that if all men and women understood the laws of sex, and obeyed them, there would not be the need of one doctor in ten. Prince A. Morrow, a .sage among physicians, states that at least half of all the physical ailments of young men is the result of a violation of the laws of sex. To those who have not studied the relation of health to sex, a statement like this would seem an exaggeration.
In his investigations of the asylums of one nation, Dr. Pique claims that he found that 82 per cent of all cases of insanity among females and 78 per cent among males, involved the sexual mechanism, functioning or both, and that early sex instruction would have wholly prevented many cases and would have postponed the mental breakdown in many other cases until later in life.

Love and Eugenics among the Late Victorians is a fascinating, lucid, and controversial study of the centrality of eugenic debate to the Victorians. Reappraising the operation of social and sexual power in Victorian society and fiction, it makes a radical contribution to English studies, nineteenth-century and gender studies, and the history of science.
Our Posthuman Future Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution
by Francis Fukuyama (Author)
A decade after his now-famous pronouncement of “the end of history,” Francis Fukuyama argues that as a result of biomedical advances, we are facing the possibility of a future in which our humanity itself will be altered beyond recognition. Fukuyama sketches a brief history of man’s changing understanding of human nature: from Plato and Aristotle to the modernity’s utopians and dictators who sought to remake mankind for ideological ends. Fukuyama argues that the ability to manipulate the DNA of all of one person’s descendants will have profound, and potentially terrible, consequences for our political order, even if undertaken with the best of intentions. In Our Posthuman Future, one of our greatest social philosophers begins to describe the potential effects of genetic exploration on the foundation of liberal democracy: the belief that human beings are equal by nature.
