In summary, the ideology of eugenics was to purposely engineer and create what their idea of a perfect human was with the use of genetics. This was well receipted in the world of science and was being transferred and pushed across multiple nations and countries. One of its biggest supporters was an accomplished American scientist named Charles B, Davenport he had similar beliefs with Galton, he preached eugenics claiming that “It is the improvement of the human race by better breeding”. Although many people had different perspectives of what the perfect human was, it was eventually picked up by Hitler when he tried to create his version of what a perfect human was and because of this the idea of eugenics greatly declined as it was associated with Nazi Germany.
With the progression of modern genetics, it was processed into a consumer-driven market where people can famously create “Designer Babies” with this piece of information popping up controversy re-sparked again. But it was slowly started to be viewed as a study of science again as the benefits outweighed the weight of Nazi Germany's dark past. A Lot of this is seen as philosophy and theory so to further my point. The textbook definition of Modern genetics is “a science that deals with the improvement (as by control of human mating) of hereditary qualities of a race or
