Thanks. I've already watched the series while I was playing poker. It really isn't about eugenics, per se. Eugenics is much more encompassing that oppression--perceived or real--of a single group of people. Eugenics is about Whites as much as it is about anybody. Still, some very interesting opinions expressed. I'm sure you will enjoy it... Message 29949227 The eugenics in Alberta had nothing to do with Blacks, per se. I guess we will never see a 13 part series about those unfortunate people with mental disorders... "In 1928, the Alberta government ( Alberta, Canada) passed eugenics legislation that enabled the involuntary sterilization of individuals classified as mentally deficient (now known as persons with a developmental disability or mental disorder). To implement the Sexual Sterilization Act of Alberta, a four-member Alberta Eugenics Board was created to recommend individuals for sterilization. In 1972, the Act was repealed and the Board dismantled. During its 43 years in operation, the Board approved nearly 5,000 cases and 2,832 sterilizations were performed. The actions of the Board came under public scrutiny in 1995 with Leilani Muir's successful lawsuit against the Alberta government for wrongful sterilization."
