The Darwinian Roots of the Devaluation of Life

_{Featuring Dr. John West, Vice President of Discovery Institute}

Ideas have consequences, and Charles Darwin’s idea that life developed through an unguided material process has had momentous consequences for both human thought and public policy. In this talk, award-winning author and filmmaker John G. West will discuss how Darwinian biology played a pivotal role in the development of eugenics, scientific racism, abortion, and other anti-life practices during the past century-and-a-half. He will also discuss current efforts to suppress the Darwinian roots of the devaluation of life–and why telling the true history of Darwinian social policy matters.
