Eugenics and Euthanasia Mommy killed my dog

Sir Francis Galton 1822-1911 I believe in: Superiority of the races Positive eugenics We should start encouraging people Sideburns rule I am Darwin’s cousin and he would be proud I have modified his Theory

Pay attention how each contributes something to eugenic thought

Herbert Spencer 1820-1903 I believe in social Darwinism because we can apply Darwin’s ideas to society and politics and the state should interfere Baldness is cool!

Richard Dugdale 1793-1875 Studying inheritance of degeneracy or what is inherited in families because some people are non-social contributors. We begin studying prisoners because many are related. Please do not confuse me with…

Any character from the original Planet of the Apes

Charles Davenport 1866-1944 I am a eugenics college professor at Harvard. We can expand what we know about plants and animals to human being. My course is generating money and I will fund some research by establishing the Eugenic Record Office. Do not confuse me with…

Mr. Hand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9huSs0g67c

Henry Laughlin 1880-1943 My research involves the researching of families. I am a one of Professor Davenport’s students. My goal is to get state legislation requiring sterilization in America. And no I am not NFL Network

Henry Goddard 1866-1957 I am the Director of Vineland Training School for the Feebleminded. We need to study mental retardation and IQ tests. Some people are simply just morons. Not me! I mean check out the tie. I studied the Kallikak Family and discovered a family with close relations were all linked to a Revolutionary War soldier. And yes he was a moron.

Kallikak Family

Moron and morons

Stop Reproducing!

Outcome VA, NJ, CA, Indiana pass sterilization laws Buck vs. Bell: State sterilization does not conflict with the 14th Amendment

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. We have seen more than once that the public welfare may call upon the best citizens for their lives. It would be strange if it could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by those concerned, to prevent our being swamped with incompetence. It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes
