==Grave Legal Errors==
==Grave Legal Errors==
I took apart a bunch of grave legal errors, equating the sterilization decision (Buck v. Bell) with Lochner. Such analysis is wrong on many levels - first, obviously, Lochner dealt with regulation of the minimum wage, while Buck legalized sterilization. Second, comparing Holmes' pro-eugenics comment to his writings in Lochner are wrong because Holmes dissented in Lochner, urging that the state has a duty to help those less fortunate - quite the opposite of eugenics! Anyways, I cleaned that up, and removed some pretty blatant PoV pushing. Shocking.-'''<font color="#007FFF">Ames</font><font color="#FF0000">G</font>'''<sub>[http://www.conservapedia.com/User_talk:AmesG yo!]</sub> 21:02, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

==Reputation and Peter Singer==
:The encyclopedia describes eugenics as now being "in disrepute,"<ref>http://www.fwkc.com/encyclopedia/low/articles/e/e007001431f.html</ref> although Professor [[Peter Singer]] of Princeton University has sought to remove the stigma from it.{{fact}}
