About EUGENICS and its ties to Nazis (wiki): <\/p>\n
Eugenics is the \"applied science or the biosocial movement which advocates the use of practices aimed at improving the genetic composition of a population,\" usually referring to human populations.[2] Eugenics was widely popular in the early decades of the 20th century, but has fallen into disfavor after having become associated with Nazi Germany and with the discovery of molecular evolution. Since the postwar period, both the public and the scientific communities have associated eugenics with Nazi abuses, such as enforced racial hygiene, human experimentation, and the extermination of \"undesired\" population groups. However, developments in genetic, genomic, and reproductive technologies at the end of the 20th century have raised many new questions and concerns about the meaning of eugenics and its ethical and moral status in the modern era. <\/p>\n
As a social movement, eugenics reached its height of popularity in the early decades of the 20th century. By the end of World War II eugenics had been largely abandoned.[3] Although current trends in genetics have raised questions amongst critical academics concerning parallels between pre-war attitudes about eugenics and current \"utilitarian\" and social theories allegedly related to Darwinism,[4] they are, in fact, only superficially related and somewhat contradictory to one another.[5] At its pre-war height, the movement often pursued pseudoscientific notions of racial supremacy and purity.[6] <\/p>\n
Eugenics was practiced around the world and was promoted by governments, and influential individuals and institutions. Its advocates regarded it as a social philosophy for the improvement of human hereditary traits through the promotion of higher reproduction of certain people and traits, and the reduction of reproduction of other people and traits.[7] <\/p>\n
Today it is widely regarded as a brutal movement which inflicted massive human rights violations on millions of people.[8] The \"interventions\" advocated and practiced by eugenicists involved prominently the identification and classification of individuals and their families, including the poor, mentally ill, blind, promiscuous women, homosexuals and entire racial groups -- such as the Roma and Jews -- as \"degenerate\" or \"unfit\"; the segregation or institutionalisation of such individuals and groups, their sterilization, euthanasia, and in the extreme case of Nazi Germany, their mass extermination.[9] <\/p>\n
The practices engaged in by eugenicists involving violations of privacy, attacks on reputation, violations of the right to life, to found a family, to freedom from discrimination are all today classified as violations of human rights. The practice of negative racial aspects of eugenics, after World War II, fell within the definition of the new international crime of genocide, set out in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.[10] <\/p>\n
The modern field and term were first formulated by Sir Francis Galton in 1883,[11] drawing on the recent work of his half-cousin Charles Darwin.[12][13] At its peak of popularity eugenics was supported by prominent people, including Margaret Sanger,[14][15]Marie Stopes, H. G. Wells, Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, Emile Zola, George Bernard Shaw, John Maynard Keynes, John Harvey Kellogg, Linus Pauling[16] and Sidney Webb.[17][18][19] Its most infamous proponent and practitioner was, however, Adolf Hitler who praised and incorporated eugenic ideas in Mein Kampf and emulated Eugenic legislation for the sterilization of \"defectives\" that had been pioneered in the United States.[20] <\/p>\n
