The NHGRI has some good resources for understanding eugenics in a modern light. It can be an extremely offensive and taboo subject for obvious reasons, so I wouldn't talk about it lightly. Check out https://www.genome.gov/about-genomics/fact-sheets/Eugenics-and-Scientific-Racism. Again, not a topic you want to bring up lightly.

Yes that's something we can understand. I do think the subject is very important in relation to how it clearly influenced world politics and individuals.

I myself would have ended up likely on the wrong end of this ideology, namely killed, by Nazis, determined to eliminate those with disabilities.

The nature of the topic is unsettling, not least because its real, a part of our history, not all that long ago either.

Anyone who may find this topic in any way offensive, that was certainly not an intension. All the best and let us all prey for more peace and understand for the future. Thank-you.
