Churchill was from an era where the importance of marriage and family in society was of far greater significance than it appears to be today. Whilst the perverted science he quoted in his speeches related to the Nazi's ever more sophisticated military equipment, it was prophetic when you consider the same statement could have been applied to the holocaust some years later. Bringing it up to date and using it against genetic research is perfectly reasonable when applied from the standpoint of an individual’s personal beliefs. It is impossible 45 years after his death to know which side of the argument Churchill would have taken. He was a great supporter of the advancement of science and in all my research I never found any evidence that pointed towards a strong faith. He did however have a very strong moral compass and given the passion which exists on both sides of the genetic argument he would have done what he did repeatedly in the war and asked a trusted scientific advisor for an honest evaluation. Then decided. I spent many years researching Churchill for a book I recently published, Churchill’s Secret Skills.
