새로운 유전학 (New Genetics), 과거 우생학 (Eugenics)의 재현인가?

초록

The aim of this study is to critically investigate the concept of eugenics in theory and in practice and to question whether the new genetics is renewal or return of eugenics. I discussed from eugenics to new genetics and the subsequent three key arguments that illuminated the central points of convergence and divergence between the old eugenics and the new genetics. Then I examined eugenical implication of contemporary new genetics. Ultimately, the study concluded that the old eugenics and the new genetics are essentially no difference at the ideological level. So to speak, the old eugenics was genetics and the new genetics is eugenics.
