- Targeted interventions, such as sterilization, could not breed our defects; even if viable, those techniques would show results only after thousands of years of regulated procreation.
- Many eugenicists viewed population control as a vehicle for modernization, the introduction of liberal democracy, and, if properly pursued, world peace.
- Two directions had formed: an outward view focusing on the global framework and an inward view focusing on the family.
- Many eugenicists blamed racialized population subdivisions, principally those in the Third World, for resource depletion, skyrocketing fertility, and environmental degradation.
- Negative Eugenics- marriage restrictions, immigration quotas and compulsory sterilizations.
