Paraphrasing:
-  Eugenics was a scientific process that helped eliminating bad hereditary traits. Many people believed that some of the human population carried undesirable characteristics that should not be passed on to future generations. 
- Francis Galton was the founder of Eugenics. His ideas were inspired by Charles Darwins idea of natural selection. Galton believed that this would better humankind. 
- Forced Sterilizations were happening at this time due to Eugenics in hope to prevent mental illnesses in minorities. 
- Hitler took Eugenics to a new level. He began killing all Germans with mental or physical disabilities by gas or lethal injections to help create one master race full of desirable characteristics. 
Quotes:
- "The Eugenics Record Office also maintained there was clear evidence that supposed negative family traits were caused by bad genes, not racism, economics or the social views of the time."
- "Historically, eugenics encouraged people of so-called healthy, superior stock to reproduce and discouraged reproduction of the mentally challenged or anyone who fell outside the social norm."
- "Eugenics literally means 'good creation'."]]> 2019-05-07 17:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kryan212/rq8eratqc1iy/wish/357745270 Human Testing, the Eugenics Movement, and IRBs kryan212 https://padlet.com/kryan212/rq8eratqc1iy/wish/357746716 Author: Karen Norrgard

Paraphrasing:
- There were many negative effects due to the projects inspired by Mendel's principle. Eugenics was becoming known in almost all countries. More labs were conducting Eugenic experiments to improve the natural and physical qualities of the human families. The studies had little genetic basis, which eliminated more qualities that were not genetic like alcoholism.
Quotes:
- "Early geneticists including Davenport were eager to apply Mendel's principles to the inheritance of human traits, with the intention of improving the quality of the human population by selecting for desirable traits, just as animal breeders would do for their livestock."
- "tudies showing that American prisons, psychiatric hospitals, and other charitable institutions commonly housed people who were related to each other provided additional evidence for supporters of eugenics that mental illness, poverty, "criminality," and other undesirable traits were hereditary."
- "For instance, in 1933, the Nazi-controlled government issued the so-called "Law for the Prevention of Progeny with Hereditary Diseases," under which at least 400,000 Germans were involuntarily sterilized for having hereditary conditions such as mental illness, epilepsy, "feeblemindedness," or physical deformities (Kennedy Institute of Ethics, 2002). "

Paraphrasing:
- Eugenics was originated in the United States before Hitler came to power. Hitler believed that this ethnic cleansing would be the only way to create one master race. The stereotypic eugenic person consisted of white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes. 
- Francis Galton, originator of Eugenics, believed that if a person who had desirable traits married another person who had desirable traits, then their offspring would be better. Non Eugenic people were eliminated due to lethal or gas chambers.
Quotes:
- "American eugenic advocates believed with religious fervor that the same Mendelian concepts determining the color and size of peas, corn and cattle also governed the social and intellectual character of man."
- "California eugenicists played an important, although little known, role in the American eugenics movement's campaign for ethnic cleansing."
- "In the process, the movement intended to subtract emancipated Negroes, immigrant Asian laborers, Indians, Hispanics, East Europeans, Jews, dark-haired hill folk, poor people, the infirm and really anyone classified outside the gentrified genetic lines drawn up by American raceologists."]]> 2019-05-07 17:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kryan212/rq8eratqc1iy/wish/357747771 Unwanted Sterilization and Eugenics Programs in the United States kryan212 https://padlet.com/kryan212/rq8eratqc1iy/wish/358979694 Author: Lisa Ko

Paraphrasing: 
- Many people like immigrants, people of color, unmarried mothers, poor people, mentally ill and disabled were forcefully sterilized due to segregation.
- Eugenics were believed by many to be protecting society from the offspring of "dangerous" and "inferior" people. 
- Sterilization was enforced to clean these people, metaphorically and literally, but actually were stripping them from their rights as a human being. 
Quotes:
- "Driven by prejudiced notions of science and social control, these programs informed policies on immigration and segregation."
- "As historian William Deverell explains in a piece discussing the “A sexualization Acts” that led to the sterilization of more than 20,000 California men and women,“If you are sterilizing someone, you are saying, if not to them directly, ‘Your possible progeny are unassimilable, and we choose not to deal with that.’”
- "More recently, California prisons are said to have authorized sterilizations of nearly 150 female inmates between 2006 and 2010."]]> 2019-05-10 17:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kryan212/rq8eratqc1iy/wish/358979694
