Explanation:

Eugenics is a social philosophy that defends the improvement of human hereditary traits through various forms of manipulated intervention and selective methods of humans. The origin of eugenics is strongly rooted in the emergence of social Darwinism at the end of the 19th century.

The eugenismo would pretend the increase of stronger, healthy, intelligent people or of certain ethnic group or social group for what promotes directly or indirectly the nonprocreation of those that do not possess those qualities coming to consider its application as an advantage in the saving of resources economic for the countries. In this sense it would be related to Malthusianism, selective natalism and nationalism. The traditional means of genetic selection, in plants and animals, was artificial selection (based, although unknown, in Mendel's Laws). The methods of eugenics of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries included everything from forced sterilization to genocide. Modern eugenics methods focus on prenataly diagnosis, fetal exploration, genetic orientation, in vitro fertilization and genetic engineering.
