I think it's important to study the history of Evolution, as proposed by Darwin, and how it led to the field of Eugenics, and all the atrocities that followed as a result. It's an example of human reason and logic leading us into very dark areas. Without the fundamental principals and values that underpin society, we are fully capable of losing our way. I think, in the case of Eugenics, it lasted for almost a century i.e from Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" until after WW II.

It seems whenever there is some major breakthrough in science, man always finds a way to misuse it. Perhaps we should be little more questioning about the sudden worldwide response to Climate Change. Although, coming from Alberta, I can't help being biased.
