Excerpt from The First Principles of Heredity: With Illustrations and Diagrams
There is, perhaps, nothing more striking in the history of mankind than the contrast between life and knowledge. While we have at the source of all life the perpetual renewal of progeny, the great mystery of creation, the one act which goes to make life, as life, possible, we find this is the last problem man has set himself to study and to solve. Nay, Whilst science is just waking up to the tremendous task of penetrating into life's mystery of mysteries, civilization has debased the very act of Nature's nursery by making it a Shame to mention either deeds or sentiments connected With the facts of reproduction. Heredity and subjects of kindred import are tabooed by polite society each man's conscience is called upon to absolve him as Well as may be of the task imposed upon him by Nature. He must not ask questions instruction is denied him.
It is time this toying with man's holiest of duties ceased. It is time man knew the extent of his obligations and the consequences of his deeds.
