Eugenicism

Eugenicism, also called Galtonianism, is a political ideology which seeks to shape public policy in accordance with the field of eugenics. Eugenics is a now discredited field of science (pseudoscience) which claims to be the 'study of good genes'. Eugenics takes influence from the Darwinian theory of evolution, which states that organisms develop to better suit a given environment through the gradual dying of organisms that are unsuited to the environment before they can reproduce and applies them to Humans; this is done by selecting traits which are 'desirable' and artificially adjusting the environment to either maximize the reproduction of those with those traits (positive eugenics) or minimizing the reproduction of those with undesirable traits (negative eugenics).

Proto-Eugenics
Early forms of Eugenics were practiced for millennia, with some cultures (such as Athens,  Sparta,  Indigenous Peoples of Brazil and  Rome) letting children who were considered to be defect be killed (infanticide). The philosopher Plato advocated for the state to control the reproduction of human beings.

19th and early 20th Century
The term 'Eugenics' and 'Dysgenics' were coined by the English polymath Sir Francis Galton in the 1860's after reading Charles Darwin's On The Origin of Species.

[[File:Nazi.png]] Nazi Eugenics
Nazi eugenics refers to the social policies of eugenics in Nazi Germany. The racial ideology of Nazism placed the biological improvement of the German people by selective breeding of "Nordic" or "Aryan" traits at its center.

Those targeted for destruction under Nazi eugenics policies were largely people living in private and state-operated institutions. They included prisoners, degenerates, dissidents, and people with congenital cognitive and physical disabilities- people who were considered to be feeble-minded:


 * Epileptic
 * Schizophrenic
 * Manic-depressive (now known as bipolar)
 * Cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy
 * Deaf and/or blind
 * Homosexual or "transvestites" (intersex and transgender people)
 * Anyone else considered to be idle, insane, and/or weak as per "feeblemindedness"

All of these were targeted for elimination from the chain of heredity.

Discrediting
Early criticism of eugenics came from the American sociologist Lester Frank Ward, the English writer G.K. Chesterton, German-American anthropologist Franz Boas, and the Scottish physician Halliday Sutherland. In 1930 was officially condemned by Pope Pius XI in his encyclical Casti Connubii

Nonetheless, major action against eugenics was mainly taken only after the Second World War.

Contemporary Eugenics
With the development of technologies which allow for more effective forms of genetic engineering the interest in the revival of eugenics has picked up steam in certain circles, including some transhumanist circles. Eugenics was defended by the New Zealand professor of ethics Nicholas Agar in the form of what he called  'liberal eugenics' in his book of the same title. Liberal eugenics (also called New Eugenics) unlike historical eugenics seeks to involve parents themselves in the process of eugenics, seeking to respect the parent's right to choose what genetic features they deem desirable for their children and to ignore the advice of eugenicists.
