Eugenics ideology is still prevalent throughout psychologists' utterances and writings. American psychologist Richard Herrnstein's 1994 book The Bell Curve, labeled African Americans and Hispanics "genetically disabled", claiming that they were intellectually inferior due to heredity and asserted that neither education nor training could change this. He also advocated selective breeding to prevent human "residue" from being born.
Today, racism still exists in all walks of life. This can be changed by throwing out the idea that individuals of a race, color or creed that is not your own is somehow a lesser human being than yourself, and by making sure we judge people by what they do and not their skin color or religion.
There's a ton more information about psychiatry at www.cchr.org and there's a DVD you can buy on the website. Also the Psychiatry, An Industry of Death Museum and the traveling Psychiatry, An Industry of Death exhibits.

Eugenics Today
Eugenics ideology is still prevalent throughout psychologist's utterances and writings.

This is something that needs to be stopped. Who is to say that people cannot be changed? If that's the case, what's the point of jail - not the rehabilitation of a criminal. What's the point of life if not to grow and learn and change?
In my experiences in Scientology, I know I have changed. I have achieved greater intelligence and my reaction time is faster. I hardly get sick anymore.
I've seen others change too. So, this whole "Eugenics" nonsense is simply that, nonsense.
