Corporate philanthropies fund research, and at the time that was research. The athor makes it sound as if corporations themselves were interested in killing the weak.
Not the corporations themselves, but the people who owned and ran the corps, oh, yeah. The Rockefellers were the biggest and most public expample. They made no secret of it either. And it wasn't research. One of them went to Rome to try to convince the pope in the 1910's to encourage birth control. They gave the money and land for the UN which is where most of the population control propaganda is coming from now.
No, the whole eugenics movement was an atempt by the monied class to limit the working class and it's documented if you look for it.

Yes, and G K Chesterton talks about it in EUGENICS AND OTHER EVILS.
He said that the Captains of Industry had decided that Industrial Capitalism was a failure because it couldn't afford to pay one man enough to support a family as large as he could have.
So they set about to encouage and promote abortion, contraception and divorce.
That is the Eugenic Society that we have today.
