Background:

--Dight Institute:
"To promote Biological Race Betterment - betterment in Human Brain
Structure and Mental Endowment and therefore in Behavior ... a place for
consultation and advice on heredity and eugenics and for rating of
people." Dight will, 1927 setting up the Dight Institute

--Dight Institute and Eugenic Record Office:
"The accumulated records of the (Eugenic Record) Office were in 1948
transferred to the Dight Institute of the University of Minnesota".  from
"Counseling Centers on Human Heredity in North America" Dice, EN 1952, p.
32

--Racism and Mankind Quarterly:
C. P. Oliver was on the Mankind Quarterly Editorial Advisory Board (see
Vol. 1, #1, 1960).  The goals of Mankind Quarterly were to reverse the
ideas of equality which were spreading and leading to school
desegregation. "during the last two decades there has been a decided
tendency to neglect the racial aspects of man's inheritance for the
social ... they are unduly influenced by political and ethical
conceptions current in many circles today ... we are helping correct a
serious imbalance ..." Editorial on Goals, Mankind Quarterly, Vol. 1, #1,
1960; "... persistent attempts to force school integration on the South,
against their opposition on the grounds that separate schools are better
for both races ... American anthropologists were responsible for
introducing equalitarianism into anthropology, ignoring the hereditary
differences between races, and even among individuals, until the
uninstructed public were gradually misled." review by RR Gates and Gayre
of Gayre of Race and Reason, 1961 by Carleton Putnam, Mankind Quarterly,
Vol. 1, p. 297

--Racism and Democracy
"differential fertility ... in a society of mixed ethnic origin... The
necessary consequence is generally a systematic predominance of the
cultural and political dispositions of the lower but more fecund orders."

Background

Behavioral Genetics:
(see 1990 "The Role of Inheritance in Behavior", Science, April 3, 1990,
p. 183 ff; which explains the theory of quantitative behavioral genetics
and Plomin' s plans for us. e.g., "Behavior is in the vanguard of
evolution ...Genetic analysis of behavioral dimensions and disorders is
especially difficult ... why should scientists bother with behavior if it
is so complex? The answer lies in the importance of behavior per se ...
Some of society's most pressing problems, such as drug abuse, mental
illness, and mental retardation are behavior problems.  Behavior is also
the key in health as well as illness ... The essence of quantitative
genetic theory is that Mendel's laws of discrete inheritance also apply
to ... complex characteristics [such as behaviors] if we assume that many
genes, each with small effect, combine to produce observable differences
in a population ... An exciting direction for genetic research on
behavior is the identification of genes responsible for genetic variance
on (sic) behavior ... The human genome project ... one of the many
benefits of the project will be the identification of more markers and
genes that might play a role in genetic variation  in behavior ...
genetic variance rarely accounts for as much as half of the variance of
behavioral traits ... In conclusion, the use of molecular biology
techniques will revolutionize behavioral genentics, and the quantitative
genetic perspective of behavioral genetics will transform our use of
these techniques as we continue to explore the role of inheritance in
themost complex of phenotypes, behavior"

Genetic Counseling, WHO Report and the Dight Institute:
"It was my privilege to provide the agenda for the 1968 (WHO) meeting
which led to this (WHO Technical Report on genetic counseling) report ...

counseling became official on a world wide basis." "History of Genetic

practical aspects of human genetics" Dight Bulletin # 16 p. iii, 1978
Symposium on Genetic Counseling in Minnesota, (inclu. counseling at Mayo
Clinic where Blackmun was counsel 1950-60); "my practice of divorcing the
two concepts of eugenics and genetic counseling contributed to the rapid
growth of genetic counseling.  Genetic counseling would have been
rejected, in all probability, if it had been presented as a technique of
eugenics... In Nazi Germany, an attempt was made to use human genetics
for the benefit of the State... in my concept (it) is a type of social
work entirely for the benefit of the whole family without direct concern
for its effect upon the state or politics."  "History of Genetic
Counseling" Social Biology Vol. 21, #4, 1974

--Coercive implications of eugenic sponsorship of genetic counseling:
Compare these two statements: (one from 1954, the other from 1991)
(1): 1954 "The base for negative eugenics is being laid by a group of
medical geneticists here and in other countries.  Public health will
require that it be followed up by practical applications very soon after
the scientific justification has been demonstrated. "The Role of the
American Eugenics Society" EQ, Vol. 1 #1 1954 (not by Sheldon Reed)
(2.): 1991 "If a limitation on public support for potentially healthy
children is the law of the land, an even stronger case can be made to
restrict public support for children with severe genetic disorders.
There are many fanciful and theoretical back doors to eugenics, but
Dandridge v. Williams is real ... indirect coercion of pregnant women by
the state, insurance companies, employers, the family or friends may be
just as effective" (as mandated pregnancy screening, Ed note) Am J. Human

Background:

Norplant, Copper-T IUD:
The Population Council's Center for Biomedical Research at the
Rockefeller University developed NORPLANT and the copper-T IUD. "Ethical
issues surrounding NORPLANT use continue to concern Dr. Segal, who, as
original creator of the implant, [ed. bold] is frequently called upon for
statements" (Population Council Annual Report 1991, p. 70).  In 1991 Dr.
Segal is leading team studying gossypol, an anti viral, antifertility,
anti cancer substance. "Estimates of contraceptive use required to meet
United Nations projections on fertility decline in less developed
countries reveal that the use of IUDs and oral contraceptives will need
to be sharply increased ... To achieve this increase requires that
interest in and access to each of these methods be enhanced considerably
throughout the developing world.  In the case of IUDs, this will
necessitate a re-evaluation of the method by policy makersa and program
implementers to counter the unwarranted bias against IUD use that
prevails in many countries." (Population Council Annual Report, 1991, p.
72).  Valerie Beral of the English Eugenics Society wrote an article
defending IUDs.  The validity of her statistical methods is an area in
which research is needed.  In particular, the use of the total number
ectopic pregnancies to evaluate the risk of ectopic pregnancy to women
who do not use IUDS seems questionable, if IUDs have increased the risk
of ectopic pregnancies.  Yet this is how Dr. Beral seems to procede.

State Press

Background:
--Race Differences in Intelligence. concluded that differences in scores
on IQ tests among "racial-ethnic groups" reflected test biases,
environmental differences, and genetic differences.  The report, written
by three members of the American Eugenics Society, concluded that: "A
rather wide range of positions concerning the relative weight to be given
to the three factors can reasonably be taken on the basis of the current
evidence, and a sensible person's position might well differ for
different abilities, for different groups and different tests." This
apparently "reasonable" position leaves room for the most virulently
racist attitudes, such as those of the "Mankind Quarterly".  Many of
"Mankind Quarterly' s" editors and contributors were eugenic society
members.  This was still true in 1993.

--Wenner Gren:
Wenner Gren was a Swedish industrialist who bought Bofors, the Swedish
arms company from Krupp.  He was blacklisted by the Allies during World
War II as a Nazi sympathizer.  He set up the Viking Fund, which became
the Wenner Gren Foundation.

Man. 1959 w/ Theodosius Dobzhansky q.v., New York, Holt
Background: Wallace irradiated a fruit fly population to learn about the
detrimental effects of radiation on average fitness but the fitness of
the mutated population was higher than the control population.  He has
been studying this "Wallace effect" for the last forty years.  it
contradicts the basic assumptions of the theory of genetic load.
"Wallace showed that the load decreased yet ... (the community of
population geneticists) clung to Haldane's paradigm.  So much for the
scientific method. ... No progress has been made in our understanding of
the mechanism for the increase in viability. ... He (Wallace, ed. note)
doesn't seem to have come to grips with the concept (of the mean fitness
of a population, ed. note) after more than forty years of effort, nor has
anyone else.  For me the obvious conclusion is that population genetics
theory has nothing of substance to say about the mean fitness of
population. ... We cannot hope to predict through purely theoretical
arguments whether these changes will improve or depreciate the situation
of the population.  Given the extraordinary  importance attached to the
fundamental theorem of natural selection and the current spate of
evolutionarily -stable-strategy arguments, this conclusion will be viewed
as heretical.  Yet if Wallace's book is telling us anything, it is that
something is very wrong with the population geneticists' obsession with
the mean fitness of a population" book review by John H. Gillespie,

Science, Nov. 1991
