˹éÒ xiii - There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the creator into a few forms or into one; and that, while this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
˹éÒ ii - ... enable them to explain how parents transmitted certain of the physical and intellectual qualities to their offspring. Not until the Edwardian period had the scientific groundwork been sufficiently well laid for eugenics to become a plausible political creed, 6 "Established scientific men"—that's like saying that discoveries of new lands can only be done by those who belong to the Royal Geographic Society, Uncredentialed men and particularly women do not count, no matter how early they visit...
˹éÒ v - Association; Dr. Charles W. Eliot, presidentemeritus of Harvard University; Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of Stanford University; and Gifford Pinchot, a pioneering environmentalist and later the governor of Pennsylvania. The subject of race improvement, or Eugenics, with which I have much occupied myself during the last few years, is a pursuit of no recent interest, I published my views as long ago as 1865, in two articles written in Macmillan's Magazine, while preparing materials for my book,...
˹éÒ ix - For a case like this I can find no words so apt as race suicide. There is no bloodshed, no violence, no assault of the race that waxes upon the race that wanes. The higher race quietly and unmurmuringly eliminates itself rather than endure individually the bitter competition it has failed to ward off from itself by collective action. The...
˹éÒ v - This is precisely the aim of Eugenics. Its first object is to check the birth-rate of the unfit instead of allowing them to come into being, though doomed in large numbers to perish prematurely. The second object is the improvement of the race by furthering the productivity of the fit by early marriage and the healthful rearing of their children.
˹éÒ xiii - negative eugenics" which must have been an appalling sacrifice. We are commonly willing to "lay down our lives" for our country, but they had to forego motherhood for their country — and it was precisely the hardest thing for them to do. When I got this far in my reading I went to Somel for more light. We were as friendly by that time as I had ever been in my life with any woman. A mighty comfortable soul she was, giving one the nice smooth...
˹éÒ vi - best stock/' a small clique of scientists will not allow her to have any children. On that, Galton and \Voodhull would have agreed, \Vhere the two differed—and differed radically—was in their willingness to face controversy and ridicule, Galton avoided controversy because such behavior did not become a gentlemen of his social standing. He waited thirty-six years (from 1865 until 1901) for eugenics to acquire a small but distinguished "appreciative audience" before he acted, Woodhull, however,...
˹éÒ xxxiv - On his remedial view of punishment the offender should, of course, be detained until he was cured. And of course the official straighteners are the only people who can say when that is. The first result of the Humanitarian theory is, therefore, to substitute for a definite sentence (reflecting to some extent the community's moral judgment on the degree of ill-desert involved) an indefinite sentence terminable only by the word of those experts — and they are not experts in moral theology nor even...
˹éÒ xi - That was Oilman in 1915, When you realize that Woodhull was thinking, writing and speaking on these topics—eugenics and making a religion of motherhood—in the 18705, over thirty years before other feminists would take up the cause, you see her importance as a pioneer, Margaret Sanger recognized that in her 1938 autobiography when she wrote, "Eugenics, which had started long before my time, had once been defined as including free love and prevention of contraception...
˹éÒ v - Man is gifted with pity and other kindly feelings; he has also the power of preventing many kinds of suffering. I conceive it to fall well within his province to replace Natural Selection by other processes that are more merciful and not less effective. "This is precisely the aim of Eugenics. Its first object is to check the birth rate of the Unfit, instead of allowing them to come into being, though doomed in large numbers to perish prematurely.
