Nikola Tesla in a world of Eugenics?

Damir Kapustic

To be clear, the dictionary defines Eugenics as “the study of how to arrange reproduction within a human population to increase the occurrence of heritable characteristics regarded as desirable.” This ideology didn’t abstain, so it stays one of the few things Tesla pictured wrongly. “The only method compatible with our notions of civilization and the race is to prevent the breeding of the unfit by sterilization and the deliberate guidance of the mating instinct, Several European countries and a number of states of the American Union sterilize the criminal and the insane. This is not sufficient. The trend of opinion among Eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny. A century from now it will no more occur to a normal person to mate with a person eugenically unfit than to marry a habitual criminal.”
