“All told,
the picture is one of a consistent, if unacknowledged, libertarian eugenics.
The high-tech fertility market privileges those able to pay for genetic
advantage. The retreat of public health abandons the social minimum needed to
ensure that all children can survive and thrive. And immigration policy redraws
the body politic along racial lines, achieving by exclusion what mid-century
welfare states once sought through inclusion. What emerges is not a paradox but
a 21st-century return of social Darwinism, wrapped in a language of choice,
freedom and national greatness.”— Canadian
