The eugenics movement was quite populare in the first half to of the 20th century. Many prominent well-respected people supported the ideas and it was gaining more and more legitimacy until WWII when, the obvious comparison to Nazi though was unavoidable. Eugenics lost favor quickly.

We forget that many of our states had already enacted legislation to involuntarily sterilize people and worse was being planned.

It will make a comeback, and that's not a bad thing in my view. The important issue is who's controlling the application of eugenic principles. If it's a government, it's a terrifying thing (except as punishment for heinous crimes, like child rape), but if free individuals are making their own eugenic decisions, the results will reflect the beliefs and values of all free people, which is a very bright prospect in my book.

The eugenics movement is alive and well today. Liberal-minded Americans have aborted 40mm of their offspring since 1973. As a result, this country is more Conservative than it has been in a century.

As opposed to now, when we taxpayers subsidize the breeding of the dimmest and least capable. Look how far we've come!
