The History of Eugenics | Culling the Herd!

Oh Boy.. Oh Boy.. Do we have a hilarious yet controversial episode for the hoseheads this week, This one we can safely say is "not for the easily offended".

Eugenics is the practice or advocacy of improving the human species by selectively mating people with specific desirable hereditary traits. It aims to reduce human suffering by “breeding out” disease, disabilities and so-called undesirable characteristics from the human population.

Early supporters of eugenics believed people inherited mental illness, criminal tendencies and even poverty, and that these conditions could be bred out of the gene pool.

Keep the world strange and support the show!
