Are We Genetically Screening Out Our Own Humanity? The Paradox of Modern Eugenics
This video unpacks the profound tension at the heart of modern medicine: we preach inclusion for the disabled, yet our prenatal genetic tests are designed to eliminate them before birth. Drawing from the research of law professor Gunnar Duttge and human genetics experts at the University of Göttingen, we explore how a society that spends billions on accessibility also funds tests that reduce Down syndrome births to near zero. We reveal the shocking truth that 95% of disabilities are acquired in life, not inherited, and that every single one of us carries lethal genetic mutations. From ancient Egypt's revered disabled officials to today's assembly-line prenatal screening, this is a deep dive into whether our quest for genetic perfection is actually a polite, privatized form of eugenics. Watch to understand the ethical abyss we're quietly slipping into.
