  Koch (2011) highlights similarities to past eugenic policies and accuses the central theorists of hubris – even a “huckster’s promise” (p. 199) – in presuming not only that we will be able to engineer complex traits like intelligence, but that they can know the appropriate regulatory limits and speak for all parents. In fact, the title of one of Persson and Savulescu’s book – Unfit for the Future (2012) – combined with its thesis regarding the need for tightened controls on liberal societies to preserve human security, makes comparisons to eugenicists ideas about unworthy lives unavoidable. (For a chilling review of Persson and Savulescu’s book, see Munsterhjelm 2011).
