The following citations are from the Colliers Encyclopedia, Volume 9, pages 384-389; Copyright 1963, Crowell and Colliers Publishing Company, Chief Editor, Louis Shores Ph.D. 1)  "Eugenics  Eugenics is a science that was created by Francis Galton.  Eugenics is a pseudo science and not a real science." 2)  "In 1960 there were 20,058 reported cases of human sterilization in the states of California, North Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan, . . . . a total of 13 states." 3)  "Dr. J. B. Haldane M.D., president of the Human Betterment Association of America used methods in medical science to create a "sire" gene that involved the modification of gene frequencies.  A great risk was posed to Eugenicists, since there was a possibility that this "sire" gene would one day mutate after several generations of each passing of it's DNA polypeptide sequences." 4)  "The Final Test of Eugenics  The Jukes and the Kallikaks were the classic example for worst of humanity.  Their crimes were certainly the worst crimes committed by human beings.  Were there crimes a result of their genetics inherited from 6 generations of feeble minded parents, or were their crimes that they committed a result of their environment, vices, and alcoholism?" 5)  "Would they have behaved differently if their environment was predefined in the optimum nurturing setting, with every variable predetermined? 6)  "Eugenics should above all, concern it's self with the values of possession of sound health, above average I.Q., adaptability of the individual to his or her's environment, and the like." 7)  "England's average I.Q. among the entire population was falling by 1.5 points by 1950, and was projected to fall to a decline of 2.0 I.Q. points by 1960." 8)  "There is so much good in the worst of us and there is so much bad in the best of us." 9)  "The Final Test of Eugenics might make Eugenics quite unnecessary in the future." -H.
