graphs of the outright extermination of the Jewish and Polish people. The media exposure coupled with the knowledge of the poor science involved in the eugenics movement brought a halt to the routine practice of involuntary sterilization in the United States. With the negative outcomes of eugenics in the 1930's, one would wonder if there is a positive side.
             The poor science involved in the eugenics movement was simply that it was impossible to predetermine specifically the genetic outcome of a feebleminded person's offspring or anyone else's for that matter. Modern science can, however, through genetic pedigrees, determine carriers of dominant genes of life crippling diseases such as Huntington's. Through genetic counseling, carriers and those afflicted can be advised of the potential risk of passing the disease on to their offspring and then make an educated decision about whether to reproduce or not. Using the scientific tools at hand voluntarily and choosing freely whether to act on that information or not, we, now, more than any other time, have an opportunity to change nature as we see fit.
             -Positive eugenics is a moral philosophy made to improve humanity, by encouraging the ablest and fittest to reproduce.
             -Positive eugenics are voluntary and thoughtful.
             -Negative eugenics advocates the seperation of the least able from the breeding population, in order to preserve humanity's fitness.
             -Negative eugenics are enforced, political and often, inhumane.
             -we know what is wrong now lets try and fix it
             Positive eugenics is often looked upon as the gradual improvement of mankind, by means of encouraging the ablest to reproduce; and negative being the opposite, or perhaps the involuntary form, by discouraging those unfit fit to reproduce and preventing them from doing so.
             Both positive and negative eugenics are trying to "improve" the quality of society, by enforcing the standard values of scientists and politi...
