Eugenics: Are We Doomed to Repeat the Past?

For many if not most people, the term "eugenics" gives rise to one of two images: Nazi Germany's attempts at "purification" and creating an Aryan master race or the science fiction predictions of such films as Gattaca. Fewer are aware (and some who are aware would rather forget) that there was a powerful eugenics movement in the United States during the first half of the 20th century. And though it would be comforting to think the movement was the product of a radical fringe, it boasted such champions as Alexander Graham Bell and Oliver Wendell Holmes who declared in the Buck vs. Bell (forced sterilization) decision of 1927, "Three generations of imbeciles are enough."
