Eugenics is the philosophy of improving the human race through selective breeding and sterilization. It was prevalent in the early 20th century and resulted in policies such as forced sterilization of individuals deemed "unfit" to reproduce and encouragement of reproduction among those deemed genetically superior. This philosophy was used to justify discrimination against marginalized groups, such as people with disabilities, individuals from certain racial or ethnic backgrounds, and those who were deemed to have undesirable genetics.
