Eugenics

Eugenics 1) The Eugenics movement was pioneered by a British scientist named Sir Francis Galton and referred to a group of scientific theories concerned with biological and social improvements of he human race through controlling hereditary factors. Galton believed that in order to promote a progressive evolution of mankind through the control of human reproduction could cause an increase in the proportion of the population that is intelligent, healthy, and emotionally stable. There were two approaches which were negative eugenics which would attempt to reduce the incidence of hereditary mental and physical defects, and positive eugenics which involve the effort to increase the incidence of desirable hereditary mental and physical attributes. Different types of people were affected by both types of measures. The positive form affected people who were supposedly of a superior gene pool and were given tax reductions for large families and social services for expectant mothers and children.
