About
"eugenics" in the Urantia Book ...
Any explanation of the Book's position on eugenics should also mention the various authors/sponsors of that UB text, information that could be expanded (include human contributors to the concept) by referencing Matthew Block's Parallel Studies of the related Papers ... and proving that the goal of "eugenics" has broad support by both celestial and human contributors to this Fifth Epochal Revelation:
