Eugenics

to get s**t done
The reform movement that was a desire to perfect man was the eugenics movement. It was through eugenics that people wanted to create more perfect humans in general by using the best genics to create better people.
The Eugenics movement lasted between the early 1900s and 1970. During that time about 65,000 women and men were sterilized without their knowledge or consent.
The eugenics movement was a social movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that aimed to improve the genetic quality of human populations through selective breeding and sterilization of individuals considered "less desirable." It was based on the belief that certain traits were inherited and could be passed on to future generations. The movement is now widely discredited and condemned for its unethical and discriminatory practices.
Eugenics is the word that means movement to improve the human species through selective breeding or other processes.
the principal of eugenics are racism and abortion..
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection influenced the eugenics movement by providing a scientific basis for the idea of improving the human race through selective breeding. Some eugenicists misinterpreted Darwin's ideas to justify their beliefs in promoting "good" traits and eliminating "undesirable" traits in the human population.
One notable hero in the fight against eugenics was Dr. Helen Keller, who, despite being deaf and blind, advocated for the rights and dignity of individuals with disabilities. She spoke out against eugenics policies that sought to sterilize people deemed "unfit," emphasizing the value of all human lives. Her activism helped raise awareness about the ethical implications of eugenics and contributed to the broader human rights movement. Keller's legacy continues to inspire advocacy for social justice and equality.
Francis Galton developed the theory of Eugenics
There are two types: positive and negative. Positive eugenics involves advantaging people who have superior genes. Negative eugenics involves sterilizing people who have inferior genes.
