I wince a little at the idea of an encyclical, especially Humanae Vitae, as being “un-inspired.” Couldn’t it be called “sacred scripture outside of the Canon?”

Thank you for an excellent overview of the subject. It is almost a ‘cliff-notes’ of this subject. I’m going to print it out and use it in teaching my older teens about this important subject that has dramatically altered their generation – if only by the number of peers they do not have due to abortion.

Author Edwin Black does a wonderful job chronicaling the aberrant history of the eugenics movement from its beginnings with Francis Galton (half-cousin of Charles Darwin)to Margaret Sanger’s “birth control” movement, to today’s promoters of human “genetic engineering” in his book “War Against the Weak.” Black doesn’t go far enough in connecting the dots to today’s ardent “reproductive rights” crowd, and is loathe to even associate the one with the other. But those of us who *know* are able to easily draw the obvious conclusions.
On the other hand, G.K. Chesterton makes excellent arguements against the principles of eugenics (which was all the scientific rage in his day) in his book “Eugenics and Other Evils.” Chesterton fills out the moral dimensions of the eugenic mentality where Black falls short. The two books compliment each other well, like two bookends on a bookshelf.
