We are rapidly becoming a society that seeks to defend itself against the child. DURING 1996 AND 1997 the world was shocked when there were revelations that many western democracies had engaged in forced sterilization of people for eugenic reasons. The dictionary defines eugenics as " a science concerned with improving...the human species, by such means as influencing or encouraging reproduction by persons presumed to have desirable genetic traits. " i Another definition of eugenics is " well born. " ii The term eugenics was first coined in 1883 by an Englishman, Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin. iii However, it was in North America, especially the United States, that the eugenics movement really became established. In 1910 the first major eugenics research institution, the Eugenics Records Office, was founded, and in 1923 the American Eugenics Society was formed, with branches in 29 states by the end of the decade. By 1928 there were 376 college courses on eugenics, and the subject found its way into high school textbooks by the mid 1930's. iv Canada was not immune. The province of Alberta passed a sterilization bill in 1928. Its sponsor, a rancher who felt that genetic lessons he had learned in cattle raising could be applied to humankind, stated: " If it is the quantity of production of the human race that is desired, then we don't need this bill. But if we want quality, then it is a different matter. " v Evidence given in a 1996 lawsuit contended that a disproportionate number of those sterilized from this law were from ethnic minorities and the poor. vi The eugenics movement was also international. In the canton of Vaud in Switzerland many mentally-handicapped patients were forcibly sterilized
