Explores how modern understanding of nature's laws interfere with the natural process of eliminating the sick and regressive by extinction, how human actions and controls interfere directly with the old natural process of evolution, and the possible development of a short cut for the time-consuming process of natural elimination through the active interference of animal breeding and genetic engineering. The author concludes with his bioethics' ten commandments, for example, personal freedom and voting rights should be proportional to the individual's contribution to the community and its progress.
