Eugenics and EuthanasiaMommy killed my
dog
Sir Francis Galton 1822-1911
I believe in: Superiority of the races
Positive eugenicsWe should start encouraging people
Sideburns ruleI 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
interfereBaldness 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…

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 1866-1957I 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
William Shockley
1956 Nobel Prize in physics for his co-invention of the transistor
Wanted to prove that black Americans were suffering from “dysgenesis,” or “retrogressive evolution,”
Advocated replacing the welfare system with a “Voluntary Sterilization Bonus Plan,”
Another word for eugenics reduction of traits over time
