According to the Encyclopedia of American Civil Liberties, Vol. 1, 2006 …
“When the ideas behind eugenics were found far across the world, the United States led the way in their practical application with Indiana being the first state to pass a law enabling the sterilization of persons for eugenics purposes in 1907. A further 22 states passed similar laws by 1926, and by 1940, thirty states had passed eugenic sterilization laws, with California and Virginia being particularly strong proponents. Most states provided for involuntary eugenic sterilization, whereby the state could forcibly sterilize a person found to be unfit to have children, because such children would be a similar burden on society.”
According to the same source …
“The popularity of eugenics declined in the late 1930s, but involuntary sterilization continued in the United States until 1979, by which time over 60,000 Americans had been sterilized.”
California’s sterilization program was a model for Germany’s 1934 Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring.
Here is a very partial list of people who believed in Eugenics (many of them vigorously promoting it) …

Paul Campos, “Eugenics Are Alive and Well In the United States: Judging by the reaction to a recent report that 148 women were sterilized illegally in California prisons, a little history lesson is in order, Time, Jul. 10, 2013 …
“Informed consent is a concept at the core of both liberal democracy and the ethical practice of medicine. That is just one reason why a new report that, between 2006 and 2010, at least 148 women were sterilized illegally in California prisons should deeply disturb us.”

Hi Atom,
what natural foods would have Tin in them ?
June 17, 2015 @ 7:25 pm Atom
Nutritional tin is found in spinach, split peas, or asparagus, and in herbs such as senega. :)
Don’t go looking for tin, though, because it’s toxic except in very small doses. :(
