What The Eugenics Movement Teaches Us About Today

I remember cringing reading about eugenics in university. It was evil then and it's evil now. We may think it's gone but it lives on in different ways. Think population control. It struck me as foolish - if not outright evil - back then and so I continue to feel this way today.

Anything else other than population control? What about minimum wage?

We've been conditioned to believe regulation is "good." To protect us from the excesses of our own evils.

And it wasn't restricted to any one ideology either. Liberals, socialists, fascists, Nazis and conservatives alike all engaged in some variation of eugenics.

Question: Are discrimination and eugenics inter-related?
