regression towards the mean."

British Columbia enacted its own Sexual Sterilization Act in 1933. As in Alberta, the British Columbia Eugenics Board could recommend the sterilization of those it considered to be suffering from "mental disease or mental deficiency."
[92]The popularity of the eugenics movement peaked during the
Depression when sterilization was widely seen as a way of relieving society of the financial burdens imposed by defective individuals.

Nazi Germany diminished the popularity of the eugenics movement, the Sexual Sterilization Acts of Alberta and British Columbia were not repealed until 1972.

During the 1930s and 1940s, the Nazi regime forcibly sterilized hundreds of thousands of people whom they viewed as mentally and physically unfit, an estimated 400,000 between 1934 and 1937. The scale of the Nazi program prompted one American eugenics advocate to seek an expansion of their program, with one complaining that "the Germans are beating us at our own game".

They argue that Hitler had different reasons for his genocidal policies toward the Jews.
[99] Seymour W. Itzkoff writes that the Holocaust was "a vast dysgenic program to rid Europe of highly intelligent challengers to the existing Christian domination by a numerically and politically minuscule minority". Therefore, according to Itzkoff, "the Holocaust was the very antithesis of eugenic practice."
[100] However, this proposition is not supported by most researchers.
. Hitler did regard Jews as being intelligent, but also considered them inferior in all other ways - morally, spiritually, artistically and physically.

[101] The
Race Eugenic Protection Law was submitted from 1934 to 1938 to the Diet. After four amendments, this draft was promulgated as the
National Eugenic Law in 1940 by the
Konoe government.
[102] According to the
Eugenic Protection Law (1948), sterilization could be enforced on criminals "with genetic predisposition to commit crime", patients with genetic diseases such as total color-blindness,
hemophilia,
albinism and
ichthyosis, and mental affections such as
schizophrenia, manic-depressiveness and

[104] There were a few Japanese leprologists such as Noburo Ogasawara who argued against the "isolation-sterilization policy" but he was denounced as a traitor to the nation at the 15th conference of the Japanese Association of Leprology in 1941.
[105]
Center staff also attempted to discourage marriage between Japanese women and Korean men who had been recruited from the peninsula as laborers following its annexation by Japan in 1910. In 1942, a survey report argued that "the Korean laborers brought to Japan, where they have established permanent residency, are of the lower classes and therefore of inferior constitution...By fathering children with Japanese women, these men could lower the caliber of the
Yamato minzoku."
[106]One of the last eugenic measures of the Shōwa regime was taken by the
Higashikuni government. On 19 August 1945, the Home Ministry ordered local government offices to establish a
prostitution service for allied soldiers to preserve the "purity" of the "Japanese race". The official declaration stated that : "Through the sacrifice of thousands of "Okichis" of the
Shōwa era, we shall construct a
dike to hold back the mad frenzy of the occupation troops and cultivate and preserve the purity of our race long into the future..."

Almost all Western nations adopted some eugenic legislations. In July 1933
Germany passed a law allowing for the involuntary sterilization of "hereditary and incurable drunkards, sexual criminals, lunatics, and those suffering from an incurable disease which would be passed on to their offspring."
[115] Two provinces in Canada carried out thousands of
compulsory sterilizations, and these lasted into the 1970s.

Marginalization after World War II
In the decades after
World War II, eugenics became increasingly unpopular within academic science. Many organizations and journals that had their origins in the eugenics movement began to distance themselves from the philosophy, such as when
Eugenics Quarterly became
Social Biology in 1969.

The
Nuremberg Trials against former Nazi leaders revealed to the world many of the regime's genocidal practices and resulted in formalized policies of medical ethics and the 1950
UNESCO statement on race. Many scientific societies released their own similar "race statements" over the years, and the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, developed in response to abuses during the Second World War, was adopted by the
United Nations in 1948 and affirmed, "Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family."
[118] In continuation, the 1978
UNESCO declaration on race and racial prejudice states that the fundamental equality of all human beings is the ideal toward which ethics and science should converge.

Many pre-war eugenicists engaged in what they later labeled "crypto-eugenics", purposefully taking their eugenic beliefs "underground" and becoming respected anthropologists, biologists and geneticists in the postwar world (including
Robert Yerkes in the U.S. and
Otmar von Verschuer in Germany). Californian eugenicist
Paul Popenoe founded
marriage counseling during the 1950s, a career change which grew from his eugenic interests in promoting "healthy marriages" between "fit" couples.

They claim, for example, that
Planned Parenthood was funded and cultivated by the Eugenics Society for these reasons.
Julian Huxley, the first Director-General of
UNESCO and a founder of the
World Wildlife Fund was also a Eugenics Society president and a strong supporter of eugenics
[121]
[E]ven though it is quite true that any radical eugenic policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable. --Julian Huxley
[122]
High school and college textbooks from the 1920s through the '40s often had chapters touting the scientific progress to be had from applying eugenic principles to the population.

Notable members of the
American Eugenics Society (1922–94) during the second half of the 20th century included
Joseph Fletcher, originator of
Situational ethics; Dr.
Clarence Gamble of the
Procter & Gamble fortune; and
Garrett Hardin, a
population control advocate and author of the essay
The Tragedy of the Commons.
In the United States, the eugenics movement had largely lost most popular and political support by the end of the 1930s while forced sterilizations mostly ended in the 1960s with the last performed in 1981.
[123] Many US states continued to prohibit biracial marriages with "anti-miscegenation laws" such as Virginia's
The Racial Integrity Act of 1924, until they were over-ruled by the Supreme Court in 1967 in
Loving v. Virginia.
[124] The
Immigration Restriction Act of 1924, which was designed to limit the immigration of "dysgenic" Italians, and eastern European Jews, was repealed and replaced by the
Immigration and Nationality Act in 1965.
[125]However, some prominent academics continued to support eugenics after the war. In 1963 the Ciba Foundation convened a conference in London under the title “Man and His Future,” at which three distinguished biologists and Nobel laureates (
Hermann Muller,
Joshua Lederberg, and
Francis Crick) all spoke strongly in favor of eugenics.

Robert Klark Graham, from which nearly 230 children were conceived (the best-known donors were
Nobel Prize winners
William Shockley and
J.D.Watson). In the U.S. and Europe, though, these attempts have frequently been criticized as in the same spirit of classist and racist forms of eugenics of the 1930s.

Eugenicists have argued that immigration from countries with low

Raymond Cattell "when a country is opening its doors to immigration from diverse countries, it is like a farmer who buys his seeds from different sources by the sack, with sacks of different average quality of contents."

A growing example of support for designer babies comes in the form of arguments made in favor of parents being able to avoid raising homosexual children by using screening technologies.
[137] The scientific consensus in America, which stems from the 1956 research of Dr.
Evelyn Hooker, is that homosexuality is not a disorder. Therefore, it cannot be treated as a defective trait that is justifiably screened for as part of legitimate medical practice.

neurodiversity. Many advocates of Down's Syndrome rights also consider Down's Syndrome (Trisomy-21) a form of neurodiversity.

In some instances efforts to eradicate certain single-gene mutations would be nearly impossible.

Under normal circumstances it is only possible to eliminate a dominant allele from the gene pool. Recessive traits can be severely reduced, but never eliminated unless the complete genetic makeup of all members of the pool was known, as aforementioned. As only very few undesirable traits, such as
Huntington's disease, are dominant, the practical value for "eliminating" traits is quite low.

The elevated prevalence of certain genetically transmitted diseases among the
Ashkenazi Jewish population (
Tay-Sachs,
Cystic Fibrosis,
Canavan's disease and
Gaucher's disease), has been decreased in current populations by the application of genetic screening.

In addition to being practiced in a number of countries it was internationally organized through the International Federation of Eugenic Organizations. (Black, p 240) Its scientific aspects were carried on through research bodies such as the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity, and Eugenics (Black, p 286), the Cold Spring Harbour Carnegie Institution for Experimental Evolution (Black, p 40) and the Eugenics Record Office (Black, p 45). Its political aspects involved successful advocacy for changes of law to pursue eugenic objectives, for instance sterilization laws (e.g. U.S. sterilization laws, (Black, see Chapter 6 The United States of Sterilization)). Its moral aspects included rejection of the doctrine that all human beings are born equal and redefining morality purely in terms of genetic fitness(Black, p 237). Its racist elements included pursuit of a pure "Nordic race" or "Aryan" genetic pool and the eventual elimination of less fit races (see Black, Chapter 5 Legitimizing Raceology and Chapter 9 Mongrelization).
- ^ The exact definition of eugenics has been a matter of debate since the term was coined. In the definition of it as a "social philosophy"——that is, a philosophy with implications for social order——is not meant to be definitive, and is taken from "Development of a Eugenic Philosophy" by Frederick Osborn in American Sociological Review, Vol. 2, No. 3 (Jun., 1937) , pp. 389-397.
- ^ See for example EMBO Reports, European Molecular Biology Organization "In the name of science - the role of biologists in Nazi atrocities: lessons for today's scientists" EMBO Reports Vol 2 No 10 2001, pp 871 et seq which discusses eugenics and its culmination in Nazi atrocities. It concludes "It was scientists who interpreted racial differences as the justification to murder ... It is the responsibility of today's scientists to prevent this from happening again."

The rule of six thousand Spartans over three hundred and fifty thousand Helots was only thinkable in consequence of the high racial value of the Spartans. But this was the result of a systematic race preservation; thus Sparta must be regarded as the first Völkisch State. The exposure of the sick, weak, deformed children, in short, their destruction, was more decent and in truth a thousand times more humane than the wretched insanity of our day which preserves the most pathological subject, and indeed at any price, and yet takes the life of a hundred thousand healthy children in consequence of birth control or through abortions, in order subsequently to breed a race of degenerates burdened with illnesses."

(For that matter, they also claimed to be a party of socialism!) If we define eugenics as encompassing programs of human betterment, physical as well as mental, practices that benefit community in the local sense as well as the species in general, we can say that the Holocaust was the antithesis of eugenic practice."
