English abstract

In the definition of eugenics, it is very difficult to make a clear distinction between science (medicine, genetic engineering) and eugenics. And to define a course of action on which genetic engineering should not go, in accordance with moral, legal and religious standards. As long as we accept the help of genetics in finding ways to fight cancer, diabetes or HIV, we also accept positive eugenics as it is now. And as long as we accept genetic screening and interventions on the fetus, or abortion, we implicitly accept negative eugenics. Furthermore, at the governmental level, although eugenics is officially denied, it was legalized in many countries until recently and is still accepted and legalized even in subtle forms, including today.

French abstract

Dans la définition de l'eugénisme, il est très difficile d'établir une distinction claire entre la science (médecine, génie génétique) et l'eugénisme. Et de définir une ligne de conduite sur laquelle l'ingénierie génétique ne devrait pas aller, conformément aux normes morales, juridiques et religieuses. Tant que nous acceptons l'aide de la génétique pour trouver des moyens de lutter contre le cancer, le diabète ou le VIH, nous acceptons également l'eugénisme positif tel qu'il est actuellement. Et tant que nous acceptons le dépistage génétique et les interventions sur le fœtus, ou l'avortement, nous acceptons implicitement l'eugénisme négatif. En outre, au niveau gouvernemental, bien que l'eugénisme soit officiellement démenti, il a été légalisé dans de nombreux pays jusqu'à récemment et est toujours accepté et légalisé, même sous des formes subtiles, y compris aujourd'hui.
