Eugenics and Other Evils An Argument Against the Scientifically Organized State

During the first three decades of the twentieth century, eugenics, the scientific control of human breeding, was a popular cause within enlightened and progressive segments of the English-speaking world. The New York Times eagerly supported it, gushing about the wonderful "new science." Prominent scientists, such as the plant biologist Luther Burbank, were among its most enthusiastic supporters. And the Carnegie and Rockefeller foundations generously funded eugenic research intended to distinguish the 'fit' from the 'unfit.'Chesterton, G. K. is the author of 'Eugenics and Other Evils An Argument Against the Scientifically Organized State', published 2000 under ISBN 9781587420023 and ISBN 1587420023.
