EUGENICS
MOVEMENT
BY:
Ms.Keerthi.K
Asst.Professor
Vijay Marie CON
INTRODUCTION
• The term Eugenics is derived from Greek word Eu meaning good and Genic- meaning birth.
• It applies the genetic knowledge gained by experiments for the betterment of human race.
• Term coined by Sir.Francis Galton in 1883 and is regarded as father of eugenics.
• Idea was inspired after the selective breeding of animals to achieve the selected traits.
• Nazis under the supervision of Hitler struggled for pure German race and applied forced
sterilizations, abortion and selective breeding. Hence in later period majority of scientific
community distanced itself from the movement.
DEFINITION
• ACCORDING TO FRANCIS GALTON:
Eugenics is a science which deals with all influences that improve the inborn
qualities of a race, also with those that develop them to almost advantage.
• ACCORDING TO BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION:
The practice or advocacy of controlled selective breeding of human
populations (as by sterilization) to improve the population's genetic composition.
AIMS
• To save resources
• To create healthy people and healthy community free from mentally
challenged individuals
• To have intelligent community
• To decrease the human suffering
HISTORY
• History is described as PRIOR TO GALTON AND GALTON,POST TO GALTON:
PRIOR TO GALTON:
• Human gene pool should be improved by human intervention
• State should control the mating programme of its own citizens
• The mating should be performed according to marriage number
• The marriage number should be assigned to all women and men based on their personality analysis both
physically and mentally
• Man with highest marriage number should mate with women with highest number of marraiges
HISTORY
• History is described as PRIOR TO GALTON AND GALTON,POST TO GALTON:
GALTON ANS POST TO GALTON:
• Natural selection described by Darwin is also applicable to humans
• As civilization progressed and care and sympathy for disabled grow it has thwarted the mechanism of this
natural selection and hence elimination of weakest by natural process is stopped.
• Human race should consistently try to improve their gene pool.
• Genius and intelligence are hereditary traits as the color of the pods and the shape of the seed
TYPES OF EUGENICS
• Recently emerged
• Aimed at betterment of humans.
• Ex: prenatal diagnosis, genetic
counselling.
• The term is not used much as it
eugenics indicates elimination of
waste.
POSITIVE
EHGENICS
• Practiced till late 50’s in almost all
developed world including Japan,
USA, Canada and Britain.
• Includes practice of forced
sterilization of criminals, abortion of
able fetus, restriction in marriages of
disabled etc..
NEGATIVE
EUGENICS
METHODS OF IMPLICATION
MANDATORY
EUGENICS:
Government
mandates the
eugenic
Programme
•Also called
authoritarian
eugenics PROMOTIONAL
VOLUNTARY
EUGENICS
voluntarily
practiced and
promoted to
general
population ,
but not
officially
mandated
PRIVATE
EUGENICS:
Practiced
voluntarily by
certain
groups but
not promoted
to general
public
CHALLENGES
• In 1910, Godfrey N. Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg developed the equilibrium model. This
model clearly and elegantly dispose off the claim that degenerate families were increasing
the societal and state load of dysgenic genes. They gave an equation known as Hardy-
Weinberg equation which showed that sterilization of affected individuals does not yield the
reduced percentage of mental defectives in the society as a whole.
CHALLENGES
• Parallely George Shull, from Carnegie Station for Experimental Evolution, by carrying out
experiments on corn plants, clearly demonstrated that the hybrid corn's plants were more
vigorous than the pure-bred ones. This conclusively refuted the famous belief held by the
eugenics that racial purity offer any biological advantage or the mixing of the race (gene
pool) destroys the good traits in the original race.
SPECIFIC PROTECTION
EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT LATEST ADVANCES IN GENETICS
• Detection of genetic carriers
• Prenatal diagnosis
• Screening of newborn infants
• Recognizing preclinical cases
• DNA vaccination
• Biochips
• Human cloning
• Recombinant DNA technology
• Stem cell therapy

EUGENIC MOVEMENT.pptx

  • 2. INTRODUCTION • The term Eugenics is derived from Greek word Eu meaning good and Genic- meaning birth. • It applies the genetic knowledge gained by experiments for the betterment of human race. • Term coined by Sir.Francis Galton in 1883 and is regarded as father of eugenics. • Idea was inspired after the selective breeding of animals to achieve the selected traits. • Nazis under the supervision of Hitler struggled for pure German race and applied forced sterilizations, abortion and selective breeding. Hence in later period majority of scientific community distanced itself from the movement.
  • 3. DEFINITION • ACCORDING TO FRANCIS GALTON: Eugenics is a science which deals with all influences that improve the inborn qualities of a race, also with those that develop them to almost advantage. • ACCORDING TO BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION: The practice or advocacy of controlled selective breeding of human populations (as by sterilization) to improve the population's genetic composition.
  • 4. AIMS • To save resources • To create healthy people and healthy community free from mentally challenged individuals • To have intelligent community • To decrease the human suffering
  • 5. HISTORY • History is described as PRIOR TO GALTON AND GALTON,POST TO GALTON: PRIOR TO GALTON: • Human gene pool should be improved by human intervention • State should control the mating programme of its own citizens • The mating should be performed according to marriage number • The marriage number should be assigned to all women and men based on their personality analysis both physically and mentally • Man with highest marriage number should mate with women with highest number of marraiges
  • 6. HISTORY • History is described as PRIOR TO GALTON AND GALTON,POST TO GALTON: GALTON ANS POST TO GALTON: • Natural selection described by Darwin is also applicable to humans • As civilization progressed and care and sympathy for disabled grow it has thwarted the mechanism of this natural selection and hence elimination of weakest by natural process is stopped. • Human race should consistently try to improve their gene pool. • Genius and intelligence are hereditary traits as the color of the pods and the shape of the seed
  • 7. TYPES OF EUGENICS • Recently emerged • Aimed at betterment of humans. • Ex: prenatal diagnosis, genetic counselling. • The term is not used much as it eugenics indicates elimination of waste. POSITIVE EHGENICS • Practiced till late 50’s in almost all developed world including Japan, USA, Canada and Britain. • Includes practice of forced sterilization of criminals, abortion of able fetus, restriction in marriages of disabled etc.. NEGATIVE EUGENICS
  • 8. METHODS OF IMPLICATION MANDATORY EUGENICS: Government mandates the eugenic Programme •Also called authoritarian eugenics PROMOTIONAL VOLUNTARY EUGENICS voluntarily practiced and promoted to general population , but not officially mandated PRIVATE EUGENICS: Practiced voluntarily by certain groups but not promoted to general public
  • 9. CHALLENGES • In 1910, Godfrey N. Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg developed the equilibrium model. This model clearly and elegantly dispose off the claim that degenerate families were increasing the societal and state load of dysgenic genes. They gave an equation known as Hardy- Weinberg equation which showed that sterilization of affected individuals does not yield the reduced percentage of mental defectives in the society as a whole.
  • 10. CHALLENGES • Parallely George Shull, from Carnegie Station for Experimental Evolution, by carrying out experiments on corn plants, clearly demonstrated that the hybrid corn's plants were more vigorous than the pure-bred ones. This conclusively refuted the famous belief held by the eugenics that racial purity offer any biological advantage or the mixing of the race (gene pool) destroys the good traits in the original race.
  • 11. SPECIFIC PROTECTION EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT LATEST ADVANCES IN GENETICS • Detection of genetic carriers • Prenatal diagnosis • Screening of newborn infants • Recognizing preclinical cases • DNA vaccination • Biochips • Human cloning • Recombinant DNA technology • Stem cell therapy
