Eugenics is the applied science of genetics. It is as old as humankind. If you are trying to improve genetic traits of living things, you are practicing eugenics. If you are looking for a spouse who is smart, healthy, and handsome, you are practicing eugenics. If you use genetics to improve the genes of your children, you are practicing eugenics.

German Nazis practiced eugenics and many other things. Should we prohibit the use of jet engine because the Nazis flew the first jet airplane?

the eugenics agenda has never gone away, look into John P. Holdrens book "Eco Science."

John P. Holdren is currently Obama's "Science Czar"

Change directions, vote Ron Paul 2012!

thanks allot dude. really helped me understand exactly what eugenics is. It's better to hear it explained from someone else rather read an explanation.

hitler got eugenics from the angloamerican establishment! he also got funded by them (for ex. rockefeller).

after ww2 it didnt went away it went undercover( kryptoeugenics) for example anthropology,genetics,, green movement (WWF) etc.
