eugenics  

Définition

  • Eugenics was a political and scientific movement that sought to improve humanity by using the study of heredity to design programs aimed at guiding human reproduction. It was based on an assertion that socially important traits are genetically determined and that steps should therefore be taken to ensure that future generations are descended from individuals with the best traits.
