Political correctness, in the extreme versions worthy of the name, is antithetical to almost all surprising advances in thought. We might call it , since it is, like the extreme eugenics of Social Darwinists, an attempt to impose myopically derived standards of safety and goodness on the bounty of nature. Few today — but there are a few — would brand genetic counseling, all genetic policies, with the condemnatory title of eugenics.
