Totally worth peeking into, it's interesting what many countries have considered, have attempted, and are continuing to ruminate on.
- sevenless 10y agoHitler got some of his worst ideas from the Eugenics Institute in California. Such as 'humanely' gassing undesirables and 'genetic defectives'. Eugenics, from Galton on, was considered progressive, enlightened, 'scientific' thought at the time.
