Eugenics, Euphenics, Euthenics – I Eugenics, Euphenics, Euthenics – I 1 / 10 What is the primary goal of euthenics? Enhancing environmental conditions Improving the genetic quality of the human population Modifying the phenotype of individuals with genetic disorders Advancing medical treatments for hereditary diseases 2 / 10 Who introduced the concept of euphenics? Charles Darwin Gregor Mendel Ellen Swallow Richards Alexander Carr-Saunders 3 / 10 What is the primary focus of euphenics? Improving genetic traits through selective breeding Enhancing individual health and well-being through environmental modifications Preventing the spread of hereditary diseases through genetic counseling Promoting genetic diversity through gene editing techniques 4 / 10 Who is often credited with coining the term “eugenics”? Charles Darwin Gregor Mendel Francis Galton Thomas Malthus 5 / 10 What is the primary goal of eugenics? Enhancing environmental conditions Improving the genetic quality of the human population Modifying the phenotype of individuals with genetic disorders Advancing medical treatments for hereditary diseases 6 / 10 Which approach is commonly associated with euphenics? Genetic counseling Selective breeding Environmental modifications Gene editing 7 / 10 A couple planning a family undergoes genetic testing and discovers they are both carriers for a recessive genetic disorder. Euphenics principles would most likely suggest: Avoiding pregnancy altogether to prevent the disease. Undergoing preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) to select embryos free of the disease. Having children and hoping for a healthy outcome. Adopting children to avoid any genetic risks. 8 / 10 A scientist proposes a new gene therapy technique that could eliminate a specific genetic disease from the population. However, the therapy also carries a small risk of unintended side effects. From a eugenic perspective, this proposal is most likely: Unequivocally supported, as it eliminates a harmful disease. Opposed due to the potential for unintended consequences. Supported only if the disease is highly prevalent. Considered acceptable as long as the benefits outweigh the risks. 9 / 10 Which of the following best describes positive eugenics? Encouraging individuals with desirable traits to reproduce Preventing the spread of hereditary diseases through genetic counseling Eliminating undesirable traits from the gene pool through sterilization Promoting genetic diversity through gene editing techniques 10 / 10 What distinguishes euthenics from eugenics and euphenics? Euthenics focuses on improving both genetic traits and environmental factors. Euthenics solely focuses on genetic improvements through selective breeding. Euthenics primarily targets the modification of individual phenotypes. Euthenics emphasizes the enhancement of environmental conditions to promote human well-being.
