1. 2nd International Congress of Eugenics held in 1921

2. Sir Francis Galton (1822-1911) – ‘Father’ of eugenics and cousin of Charles Darwin

3. “ Every 15 seconds, $100 of your money goes for the care of persons with bad heredity, such as the insane, feeble-minded, criminals, and other defectives” – American Eugenics Society, 1929

4. Miscegenation – the prohibition of interbreeding between different races

5. “ Only Genetically Healthy Offspring Ensure the Strength of the People. We do not stand alone ” (1936)

19. The Negatives of Eugenics in Practice

20. Great People Einstein: Autism (Aspergers), Dyslexia Newton: Autism (Aspergers) Steven Fry: Bi-Polar Van Gough: Bi-Polar These people wouldn’t have lived to make their cultural and scientific contributions (there are many more):

26. Eugenics in practice without genocide Voluntary sterilization Sperm ‘n’ egg donors Duane's Idea Martin W's Idea Slowly stop breeding with stupid people!

27. Does it have a future? NO Doubtful in the ‘traditional’ sense. Selective breeding will probably continue in a more advanced form as genetic engineering [GE], where the process of manipulating genetic patterns is a more exact science. GE removes the element of natural uncertainty which we get with selective breeding, and allows us to get more precise results, faster. Hopefully with a better understanding of genetic interactions and with well discussed and agreed upon ethics, we can use this knowledge for good, improving the world without taking life or civil liberties. Though we can ‘improve’ the science of genetic engineering, we cannot ‘improve’ the philosophy; the deep questions will remain the same. We can simply do our best, obey medical laws and see if values become more permissible over time Whenever we choose to manipulate the genetic tapestry, there is some aspect of Eugenics at work.
