Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The eugenics movement believed that the genetic quality of the human population could be improved through selective breeding and sterilization of those deemed inferior. This belief was popular in the early 20th century, but has since been discredited and widely criticized for its unethical and discriminatory practices. It did not push for the rights of disabled individuals, nor did it build the foundation for parent-professional collaboration. It is not influential in modern society.
