Professor Gary Jason on how the Nazis sold eugenics to the public

In its recent issue, Reason Papers published an informative review essay by philosopher Gary James Jason of Cal State University: “Selling Eugenic Killing: The Nazi Propaganda Campaign to Support the Liquidation of the Disabled.”

Quote: “Positive eugenics means promoting breeding ‘superior individuals’ from ‘good stock.’ Negative eugenics refers to prohibiting the breeding of children of ‘defective stock.’ However, I would suggest that many such policies are on a slippery slope.”
