The most conspicuous element of the presentation to me was Eugenics. This has been defined as the selective breeding of human population groups. With Eugenics, certain population groups are vetted on whether they will be allowed to reproduce or not. Historically Eugenics occurred during the Nazi years in Germany military camps where Jews and other groups perceived as inferior races faced genocide. Others, especially Germans with disabilities, had to undergo extermination in gas chambers. In America, the State of Virginia sterilized thousands of individuals without their consent. This was to have them not reproduce.
For me, I found Eugenics interesting because of the arguments that have been put forth to support it. It has always been argued that it is a way of improving the human race, where only those with desirable traits are propagated. In contrast, those with undesirable traits like physical and mental disabilities, are frozen out. For me, whatever angle one chooses to view Eugenics it remains wrong. It is simply fallacious. Who determines what is desirable and in what attributes are the decisions made. Such questions are not easy to handle because it is not always that people in leadership or justice systems are fair. It just takes an unethical leader to reverse all gains made in the fight against discriminatory inhuman racial and ethnic practices. The consequences of such measures are obvious, the extinction of a particular group of human population over time. This has to be the ultimate form of discrimination of individuals whom one does not share the same physical or cultural characteristics with.
