Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The eugenics movement aimed to improve the genetic quality of the human population by promoting selective breeding of individuals with desired traits and discouraging or preventing reproduction by those with "undesirable" traits. This involved different policies such as forced sterilizations, marriage restrictions, and immigration laws aimed at eliminating "inferior" genes from the gene pool. The eugenics movement was not focused on empowering parents or developing partnerships with them, nor was it mainly centered on family relationships.
