Description

Here is the transcription of the text from the comic:

Panel 1: Person 1: "I don't see what's so bad about eugenics. Oh sure, there's some bad history, but we could make people smarter, stronger, and more empathetic."

Panel 2: Person 2: "Great idea! Tell you what: I have a time machine. Since eugenics is so great, let's make it happen in the past."

Panel 3: Person 3: "Which scientifically advanced previous generation would you like to receive complete control over your physical and mental attributes? 1950s America? 1890s Britain? 1810s France?"

Panel 4: Person 4: "That's not fair! Those people had problems. Everyone knows ethics was finally worked out in summer, 2013."

Panel 5: Person 5: "What about all the people who think you're wrong?" Person 6: "I believe we can sterilize them via the water supply."
