That's because they realized resistance to, e.g., tuberculosis wasn't necessarily correlated with other genetic advantages. So letting babies die of flu or whatever didn't necessarily improve the race/species. Basically they wanted to weed people out more rationally. /3
All bad, of course, but amazingly we have reached the point where we are ranking the eugenicists who run the government. And RFK's views - on this scale! - are very bad. Here's a review article on this: ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/pdf/10.2... /4
So we are going back in time to the early 1900s.
Eugenicists-That's my favorite Chapter in the Bible! RFK Jr. is such a good Christian!
Yes Dr Squires in 1893 said that letting tuberculosis run riot is the stupidest eugenics idea! Unless you want 1/3 of population chronically sick with TB (estimated in England 1835). The more I read, though, the more I sense eugenicists DROOLING at the idea of overseeing an orgy of human suffering.
Maybe they think all the suffering and death will give them UNLIMITED POWER! Sent straight to their katra through BALL TANNING MACHINES!
