eu·gen·ics

/yo?o'jeniks/

noun

noun: eugenics

Eugenics is a word we inherited from our ancestors the Greeks.

The word eugenics comes from a Greek word that means “wellborn.”

Eu - the first syllable translates as “good”.

Genics - the second syllable translates as “born”.

The term eugenics was coined in the 1880s'.

a. It refers to the study of how to arrange reproduction within a human population to increase the occurrence of heritable characteristics regarded as desirable.

b. a social and political philosophy, based loosely on Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theory and Francis Galton’s research on hereditary genius, that seeks to eradicate genetic defects and improve the genetic makeup of populations through selective human breeding.

c. Positive eugenics is directed toward promoting reproduction by individuals with ostensibly superior traits,

d. whereas negative eugenics is directed toward preventing reproduction by individuals with traits that are considered to be undesirable.

The battlefield is language.

Eugenics is noble and kind and seeks only to improve the human race by adding in more genes for beauty, health and intelligence.

Negative eugenics by sterilization seeks only to reduce the number of criminals, malformed and retarded creatures that plague our beautiful earth.

As far as the intelligent people of the earth are concerned “eugenics” is a word that describes a concept that means - “good genes”, as per its definition in the dictionary of the English language.

The people you would like to reach are not impressed with use of definitions for words that would give the opposite affect.

For example:

war = peace

up = down

hot = cold

debt = wealth

eugenics = premeditated mass murder

Eugenics has nothing to do with murdering anyone just because they happen to be defective in mind, body or spirit.

At its root, the very word eugenics means: good genes.
