Eugenics became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the United States and Europe. The movement gained momentum after the publication of Francis Galton's work in the 1880s, advocating for the improvement of human populations through controlled breeding. It reached its peak in the 1920s and 1930s, influencing policies on Immigration, marriage, and sterilization. The rise of eugenics declined significantly after World War II, due in part to its association with the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime.

Is a parental licensure program a form of passive and social eugenics?

Eugenics is defined as "the belief and practice which aims at improving the genetic quality of the human population." Determining the genetics of those who desire to become parents and then giving only those with desired genetics a license to become a parent would certainly be a form of eugenics. It would be difficult to enforce without having harsh, and what many would believe inhumane, penalties for those who have children without a license.
