Sir Francis Galton 1822-1911

Positive eugenicsWe should start encouraging people

Sideburns ruleI am Darwin’s cousin and he would be proud

I have modified his Theory

Pay attention how each contributes something to eugenic thought

Herbert Spencer 1820-1903

I believe in social Darwinism because we can apply

Darwin’s ideas to society and politics and the state should

interfereBaldness is cool!

Herbert Spencer 1793-1875

Studying inheritance of degeneracy or what is

inherited in families because some people are non-social

contributors. We begin studying prisoners because many are related. Please do

not confuse me with…

Any character from the original Planet of the Apes

Charles Davenport 1866-1944

I am a eugenics college professor at Harvard. We can expand what we know about plants and animals to human

being. My course is generating money and I will fund some research by establishing the

Eugenic Record Office. Do not confuse me with…

Training School for the Feebleminded. We need to

linked to a Revolutionary War soldier. And yes he was

a moron.

Outcome

VA, NJ, CA, Indiana pass sterilization laws

Buck vs. Bell: State sterilization does not conflict with the 14th Amendment

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.We have seen more than once that

the public welfare may call upon the best citizens for their lives. It would be strange if it could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the

State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by those

concerned, to prevent our being swamped with incompetence. It is

better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate

offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can

prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The

principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover

cutting the Fallopian tubes
