:"The publication of Darwin's [[Origin of Species]] in 1859 led to the rise of the eugenics movement in Europe.  Eugenics supporters believed that [[race]]s could be improved by [[selective breeding]].  The Nazi Party adopted this belief and began a campaign against the Jews. Many physicians joined the [[Nazi Party]] because they needed jobs."  -- "Medicine against society: lessons from the Third Reich," ''The Journal of the American Medical Association'', Nov. 27, 1996 (Vol. 276, No. 20), at p. 1657(5), by Jeremiah A.

==Genocide==

Many genocides have been commited in the name of Eugenics, most notably [[the Holocaust]].

Some argue that parents who abort infants with genetic mutation or other disabilities are practicing a form of eugenics<ref>http://edition.cnn.com/2003/US/07/04/nyt.kristof/index.html</ref>. Some doctors and scientists have defended this practice and named it "liberal eugenics" in order to differentiate it from traditional forms of eugenics such as Nazi eugentics.<ref>http://ndpr.nd.edu/review.cfm?id=4541</ref>  Eugenicists in the United States and elsewhere have been known to employ or advocate [[abortion]] as a method of eugenics.
