Creating the master race

Mary Meets Dolly highlights a fascinating article about an exhibit that "forces the public to ask tough questions about where we are going with genetic testing and genetic engineering by looking back at the atrocities of Nazi Germany". One of the things I found most interesting:

Most people are unaware the the atrocities in Germany started with the marginalization of those deemed "unfit". And even less known is the fact that it wasn't Nazi soldiers who were pushing the eugenics movement, it was the doctors, the social workers and the teachers.

Read the whole article at Cleveland.com here. The link to the exhibit's website is here.
