Modern day eugenics is a very controversial topic. It originally was practiced as a means of selective breeding, to ensure the presence of “desirable” traits in the human population. Around the time of World War II, the widespread practice of eugenics was frowned upon. Today, scientists use eugenics to advocate for in vitro embryos for which you can genetically alter to ensure there are no deleterious genes. While preventing a potential offspring from carrying or having a life-altering genetic disorder is not something to go unnoticed, it should not be the deciding argument for modern day eugenics. Pro-eugenicists believe that creating a near perfect society may allow society to live up to its fullest potential. However, it should be pointed out that some individuals with the allele that makes you more susceptible to autism have also proven to score higher on the IQ scale, etc. The concept of nature and NATURAL selection has helped society evolve to where we are today. Natural selection is thought to already account for the prosperity of “desirable” traits. Tampering with that may cause inequality in ways scientists may never have deemed possible.

I read the article by Paul Campos written for Time magazine, "Eugenics Are Alive and Well In the United States." This article was talking about how sterilization has happened illegally in the California prisons almost 200 times between a few year time span. The number might not sound large, but when something so personal and disturbing is being done against someones consent I don't think it matters if it is 20 or 200 people. The prison was performing this act to inmates without a prison administrator even trying for authorization from the state board. It would be one thing if they tried at first to do it the "right way" (even though there is nothing right about it) , but they tried to be sneaky from the get go which makes it 10 times worse. Why does reproduction even concern the workers of a prison? Well it started in the early 20th century, 1927 to be exact when Oliver Wendell Holmes approved of sterilization saying and I quote "The practice of legal forced sterilization was an outgrowth of the eugenics movement – the idea that the genetic quality of human populations should be improved by selective breeding practices, whereby society’s elites would curtail unnecessary reproduction by the “feeble-minded”. Degrading those who are below others because of their life choices and mistakes, so that automatically makes them someone that shouldn't reproduce children in our society? I totally disagree with this act of course and I agree with the article on the sole fact that it is exposing a perfect example of the modern day ways eugenics is still happening around us.
