Tuesdays with Vic - Genetic Modifications
Update: 2022-06-15
Description
In this edition of the Standup Historian, Vic read from the book, Project Human Extinction, by Chris Thomas.
In this chapter, we heard about Eugenics and how, after World War II and the discovery of Nazi's atrocities in concentration camps, it morphed into Genetic Modification and lived on to create genetically Modified Organisms!
We also talked about both intended and unintended consequences of genetic modification in agriculture, such as the creation of new diseases. Vic also talked about the organic movement, which demanded real agricultural products without GMOs.
In this episode, we discussed the roots of the so-called superior race and how Rackeffeler funded eugenics research in the US and Germany.
