Eugenics was cutting edge science in early the 20th century. All the educated elite were aware of it’s implications and goals. Popular authors, actors, and even politicians lobbied for it. Now it’s synonymous with death, forced sterilizations, and even Nazism. What happened and why is it coming back into conversations as a possibility in 2019? Find out today as we dive into the early Eugenics movement in America and the Carrie Buck story.Special shout out to our fellow cutter of classes, Isabel Wilson, who requested the show! Thanks Isabel!
