Eugenics is not racist and discredited. It is practiced by anyone who breeds animals. We don't generally apply the term to human breeding because of Hitler, but without using the word many people still talk about the very same thing- and it is a perfectly good word (see below). When you talk about the public health aspect of the creation of children regarding their genetics you are talking about eugenics. I wasn't even discussing this with you. If you are looking for someone to fight with, or post insults to, please look elsewhere. I'm really not interested. eu·gen·ics ( P ) Pronunciation Key (y-jnks) n. (used with a sing. verb) The study of hereditary improvement of the human race by controlled selective breeding. eugenics \Eu*gen"ics\, n. The science of improving stock, whether human or animal. --F. Galton. eugenics n : the study of methods of improving genetic qualities by selective breeding (especially as applied to human mating) [ant: dysgenics]
