After a meeting with Professor Ira Carmen today, I was accepted into the Political Science 499 seminar entitiled "Politics, Law, and Eugenics." Professor Carmen described the class in a brief overview like this:

There has been much discussion over the years of manipulating human genes to make people healthier, prettier, more athletic, and smarter. Now there exists the distinct possibility of doing these things. Such practices are called by critics "eugenics," and they raise profound legal and political issues. This seminar will address those issues.

There are only 15 spots available, so it's a big deal to me to get in, especially after getting turned down last semester. On a side note, he also praised my midterm score. It was an 85, and he said that they're hard to come by. Probably one of the best things to happen to me at this school so far.
