Introduction The problem of eugenics is very important in the context of modern studies, I would like to discuss it refer to such books as Alexandra Minna Stern’s “Eugenic Nation” and Laura Pulido’s “Black, Brown Yellow and Left”. If we are talking about eugenics within the United States during 1890 – 1945, then we need to say that one of the well-known modern inventors of eugenics was Alexander Graham Bell. He studied the grade of deafness on Martha’s Vineyard from Massachusetts. Main body According to Alexandra Minna: “From this he concluded that deafness was hereditary in nature and, through noting that congenitally deaf parents were more likely to produce deaf children, tentatively suggested that couples where both were deaf should not marry, in his lecture Memoir upon the formation of a deaf variety of the human race presented to the National Academy of Sciences on 13 November 1883” (Stern, 2005). Another author, Pulido, mentions these: “However, it was his hobby of livestock breeding which led to his appointment to biologist David Starr Jordan’s Committee on Eugenics, under the auspices of the American Breeders Association. The committee unequivocally extended the principle to man” (Pulido, 2006). So we can say that Bell suggested controlling immigration for the aim of eugenics; he admonished that boarding schools for deaf people may be considered as places of a certain deaf human race. Another scientist who supported eugenics was Woodrow Wilson. According to Stern’s book: “In 1907 he helped to make Indiana the first of more than thirty states to adopt legislation aimed at compulsory sterilization of certain individuals; although the law was overturned by the Indiana Supreme Court in 1921, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of a Virginia law allowing for the compulsory sterilization of patients of state mental institutions in 1927” (Stern, 2005). Many states established laws about marriage with certain eugenic criteria. Such scientists as Davenport and Laughlin were great promoters of eugenics. During the 20th century, scientists were involved in the research connected with the idea stated that mental illness could influence and run in families. A lot of studies were made on such illnesses as depression, bipolar disorder, and also schizophrenia. Results of such research were used by the movement of eugenics as evidence for its cause. State laws prohibited the marriage of the mentally ill and forced them, motivated these as a means of preventing the “passing on” of mental disease to next generations. It is written in Pulido’s book: “These laws were upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1927 and were not abolished until the mid-20th century. By 1945 over 45,000 mentally ill individuals in the United States had been forcibly sterilized. All in all, 60 000 Americans suffered from sterilization” (Pulido, 2006). We can read such information from Minna’s book: “In years to come, the ERO collected a mass of family pedigrees and concluded that those who were unfit came from economically and socially poor backgrounds. Eugenicists such as Davenport, the psychologist Henry H. Goddard and the conservationist Madison Grant (all well respected in their time) began to lobby for
